Media content

Media content includes images, videos, and documents files that you embed and use on your website.

You manage each of the media content type in the respective content type page:

  • Images
  • Videos
  • Documents & Files

When you open any of these pages, you can see a list with all libraries that store files of the specific media type. For each library, you can see a list with related actions, the date of the last uploaded media file, and where those files are stored.

To display media content on your website, you use the respective widget, for example Images widget for widgets. For more information about widgets, see Content widgets.

Multilingual media content

If you have a multilingual site, all of your media content items can have:

  • Different title and other properties, such as alternative text and tags in each different language.
  • Different file (image, video, or other file) in each different language.

For more information, see Translate an existing media content item.

 

NOTE: For each media content item, you will have different URL in each language. If you have different files in different languages, you will also have different URL for each file.
