How to Automatically Set the Language Dropdown to 'Japanese' for a Language Copy in AEM

Hi Team,

My site structure follows the pattern /content/sample/language-master/en, and I am currently creating a Japanese language copy from the English master. While the language copy is successfully created at /content/sample/language-master/ja, the issue arises when I check the Advanced tab in the page properties. The language dropdown still shows "English" instead of "Japanese." Could you guide me on how to ensure the language dropdown automatically updates to "Japanese" during the creation process, without requiring manual selection?

Hi @veerareddyc1015 
I don't think so the jcr:language property will gets rollout. It is excluded OOTB from "CQ MSM Content Update Action"

You have to set language property only on root page of the tree e.g. /content/mysite/jp/jp.

    Thanks Arun for the quick reply.
    I am facing the issue once I create a "Japanese" language copy from English and open the properties of /content/sample/language-master/ja and go to the Advanced tab.

    Hi @veerareddyc1015 

    What is the value of jcr:language in your master page, e.g., /content/sample/language-master/ja?

     

    I believe that when you create a new live copy and the master page already has the language set, those properties will roll out as expected. However, if you later update the property in the master, As expected the changes won’t reflect in the live copy due to the exclusion rule jcr:*
