Assigning Taxonomy Terms Based on Locale
Overview
This solution sets up a Taxonomy called “Region” that contains a list of countries, and each country has term UID. Then an Automation is created that does the following:
- Listens to the “Create Entry” event for a particular content type.
- Sets up mappings from locale codes to country term UIDs.
- If the country does not have the mapping, it will set the default term UID as 'usa'.
Example: Country “Netherlands” term UID is netherlands.

- Create the following Taxonomy in a stack:
- Create a Content Type which also has the Taxonomy field where the locale can be stored.
- Create an Automation to fill the Region term based on the present entry's language.
- With the Contentstack connector create an Entry Trigger for any new entry created based on the particular Content Type.
- Use the CodeBlock connector with the following JavaScript Code:Here's how it looks:
const mapping = {'sw':'sweden', 'en-us':'usa', 'en-uk':'england', 'nl-nl':'netherlands', 'de-de':'germany'}; return mapping[input.locale] || 'usa'; - Use the HTTP connector to update an entry based on the localized country of the entry.
Examples:
- When the entry created in default locale, the term is set as “usa,” and when the entry gets localized into Dutch, the term is set as “netherlands.”
- Based on the above automation steps, when the entry is localized in Germany, the term is automatically added.
