05/19/2017, 4:36 PM@fabianlindfors I haven't done that yet in GraphQL but I can tell you how I've done it successfully in SQL if you want? The idea behind it can be translated 1 to 1 here 🙂

The easiest thing to do is to add a new table / type. I'd call it something like 'Locale(s)' or so. In there, you have properties like ID and then the language values as strings: EN, NL, DE, FR, ...

I was also thinking of creating multiple entries and connecting them with an internal m-m relationship to denote translations. This way all fields can be different in different languages and you can also easily find translations for a specific entry.
