I have gone through the video but doesn't talk about the editable templates challenge for multilingual sites. As explained above, When we have header and footer as part of structure. We will not be able to edit the values in the component dialog in the editable template structure as the same would be referenced by multiple locale websites.

Use Case - Header Navigation needs to have some additional pages specific to locale.

Could you please confirm if we will be able to achieve the above use case using editable templates.

I assume that your use case is something similar as mentioned in 'Live Copies - Composition' @ Reusing Content: Multi Site Manager and Live Copy

For navigation that is inside structure, you could take various approaches - you can still keep the navigation component inside structure and choose to save the dialog content on a different custom path (backed via Sling model). However, this approach would be a bit complex with overheads but still feasible. The other approach is to move navigation component out of structure and treat it as a normal component. That would solve all issues except that you would have to create another layout container in header for navigation component and fix/customize couple of things.

You may come up with a better approach and try that.

I am sure this is a very old article, but if someone is still figuring out on how to achieve multi lingual websites with localized headers and footers, please refer to this article. https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-core-components/using/get-started/localization.html?lang=en

 

it is working on AEM 6.4.8 and Core components 2.9.0
