Multilang Bug with Matrix, Neo, SuperTable (with Video) We have a big problem with CraftCMS and Multilang.


We have the default language German (DE) in Craft.
We have news entries with matrix fields
We create a new language English (EN) as second language
We activate this language (EN) in the News section
We open an existing news entry and click on the second language (EN)
The content of the matrix field does not exist
We go WITHOUT saving back to the source language (DE) and save the post
We switch back to the second language (EN) and now the Matrix Content is here


For us it seems that the Autosave function, which is triggered when you add a new language to a section, does not process the matrix fields (Neo + SuperTable same problem) properly.

The Problem is on all our client sites which use multilang.

You're essentially running into this bug: https://github.com/craftcms/cms/issues/16

It has been fixed for the upcoming Craft 3, but the fix was involved likely won't be backported to Craft 2.
