Hello Sanity peeps,Does anyone know how to localize a block array with
the internationalized array plugin ? I have tried changing the type to "internationalizedArrayString" but that returns an error.

defineField({

name: 'information',

title: 'Information',

type: 'array',

of: [{ type: 'block'}],

}),

👋 I just want to caution you that field level translation of a portable text field will eat through your attribute limit and cause you massive headaches down the line.

That is a fair point. Guess I will localize on the document level in that case. Thanks!

Did you use Document Level Localization in the end? Doesn't it cause issues down the line when you want to link to a certain page, for example, with document level localization if you use a reference field it would be possible to link to any of the translated items of that page, for example.

This is probably not the answer that anyone wants to hear but I switched to StoryBlok because their internationalization had much better documentation that I could follow better.
