One Content Fragment to manage all Languages

Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: Improve multilingual content management in AEM by enabling a single content fragment to support multiple languages/locales through a tabbed or variant-based interface.
Use-case: Our content authors manage over 500,000 content fragments across 12 languages. Currently, each language requires a separate content fragment, resulting in significant manual effort and complexity when performing routine tasks such as updates, moves, deletions, and publishing.
Current/Experienced Behavior:
  • AEM requires a separate content fragment for each language or locale.
  • Authors must manually replicate actions (e.g., move, update, unpublish, delete) across all language versions.
  • Shared fields must be updated individually in each of the 12 language-specific fragments.
  • This leads to a high risk of inconsistency, increased maintenance overhead, and a time-consuming authoring experience.
Improved/Expected Behavior:
  • Enable a single content fragment to support multiple languages/locales using a tabbed or variant-based structure.
  • Allow shared fields to be updated once and reflected across all language variants.
  • Provide built-in tools or automation to manage language-specific content more efficiently (e.g., bulk move, update, unpublish, delete).
  • Reduce manual effort and improve consistency across multilingual content.
Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable):

Service Pack: 6.5.22
