Add Languages to a Workspace

Languages are first added globally in Assets. These languages form the list of available locales. Spaces and their workspaces do not create languages independently; instead, they select from the available languages and enable only the ones they require.

Within a space, each workspace adds a subset of languages based on its specific requirements. Assets become available for localization only after languages are added to the workspace. This layered approach ensures controlled localization, avoids unnecessary language clutter, and supports focused regional or campaign-driven workflows.

For example, Asset Management may include five languages, but a workspace adds only two of them. Only those two languages are available for localizing assets within that workspace.

To add languages to a workspace, log in to your Contentstack account and perform the steps given below:

1. Navigate to Asset Management.
2. Open the required space and click Space Settings.
3. Select Workspaces from the left navigation panel.
4. Locate the required workspace and click the vertical ellipsis in the Actions column.
5. Select Manage Workspace Languages. The Manage Workspace Languages modal displays the languages currently enabled for the workspace.
6. Click + Add Language.
7. Select one or more languages from the list of available languages. Each language displays its configured fallback language.

   Note The default language remains locked and cannot be removed.

8. Click Apply to confirm the selection.
9. Click Save Changes to add the selected languages to the workspace.

The selected languages now become available for asset localization within that workspace only. Other workspaces in the same space remain unaffected.
