How to hide or replace a section in one of the languages

1. If you need a replacement, first create it in the site structure as a regular section or informer (for example, “Kontakte Berlin”) and set its access to “Nobody” — then it will appear only where it substitutes.
2. Open “General settings” → “Site languages” → the “Sections and informers by language” card.
3. Choose the “Language”, then “Section or informer”.
4. In “What to do” choose “Hide” or “Show instead” — in the second case, specify “What to show”. Click the “+” button.

“Hide” — in this language the section disappears from the menu and from page sections, its address opens “Page not found”, and it is removed from the site map.

“Show instead” — another section is shown in place of this one in full: title, text, module, settings, style. The place in the menu and the page address stay the same. This is how, for example, a German version is made with Berlin contacts and a Berlin phone number in the header.

Why the replacement is a whole section rather than “a different translation”: machine translation would overwrite such text on the next run, but it does not touch a separate section.

If it didn't work

• The section you need is not in the replacement list. An informer can only be replaced by an informer, and a section only by a section.
• The replacement did not work on its own rule. Rules do not chain onto each other: the replacement section's own rule in the same language is not applied.
• As an administrator, you see the hidden section. A dashed placeholder is shown in its place — visitors do not see it.
