Unlocking an item by localizing

Localize an item to turn a shared content item into a localized content item. Localizing an item creates a distinct copy of that item. Any changes to the original item are no longer reflected in your localized copy, and vice versa. A typical reason for localizing content is to translate it. Localizing an item unlocks it.

Procedure

  1. On an editable webpage, start editing by clicking the pencil button in the top right corner.
  2. Click the locked item you want to localize.
    The border displays a lock border button at top left.
  3. Click the lock button.
    A dialog appears explaining that you can modify this item if you first localize it. (You may see other unlock options as well.)
  4. Select to localize the item.
    The item is localized and unlocked.

Results

You have created a local copy of the item that is independent of the original item.

What to do next

You can now modify the localized item, without modifying the corresponding original item.
