Fallback Languages in Optimizely Graph

Vote:
 

Hello everyone! I notice that Optimizely Graph doesn't return results of a language available in the cms, but that is doing a fallback to another one. Do you know if Opti Graph supports this?

Fallback language isn't supported in Graph at the moment

Hi Kevin,

As Eric mentioned Optimizely Graph does not currently support CMS-style fallback languages automatically (like CMS 12 fallback / language branching). This is expected behavior and often causes confusion.

How language fallback works (and doesn’t work) in Optimizely Graph

In CMS:

  • Language fallback is handled by the CMS runtime.

  • If content doesn’t exist in the requested language, CMS transparently falls back to the configured fallback language.

In Optimizely Graph:

  • Graph is language-explicit.

  • If you query for sv and the content doesn’t exist in sv, Graph will simply return null.

  • There is no built-in concept of “try fallback language automatically.”

So Graph will never implicitly fall back to another language for you.
