Sanity Desk - How to Change the Localization Version of the Document?

5 replies
Last updated: Jul 14, 2022
Hello Everyone,
I have a question related to Sanity desk.

We are showing our home page on the initial page. However, when we try to change the localization version of the document, we get blank page, because URL is changed with the translated document's 
_id
How can we prevent this behavior?


https://share.getcloudapp.com/OAu8lGXm
Here the code.


export default () =>
	S.list()
		.title("Content")
		.items([
			S.listItem()
				.title("Home Page")
				.icon(GoHome)
				.child(
					S.document()
						.schemaType("page")
						.documentId("frontpage")
						.views([
							S.view.form(),
							S.view
								.component(Iframe)
								.options({ url: (doc) => resolveProductionUrl(doc) })
								.title("Preview"),
						])
				),
			page,
			press,
			blog,
			customer,
			company,
			navigation,
			dictionary,
		]);

This is happening because your Studio is looking to display a document whose 
_id
is 'frontpage', but since you're using the document-level translations you're switching to a completely different document with a different 
_id
when you change the language.

That's correct, but is there a mechanism to prevent this, i.e. to have some function on translation button click or on URL change?

No, unfortunately. The point of a singleton is to show a single document, so that's not going to work with out of the box functionality.
