Hello,

For example.

I have a website with English as master language and danish as a sub-language.

I create a paragraph on master, translate it on my danish layer.

I now add this paragraph as a Global Element on some other page.

This will reference the english version of the global element on both the master and danish language.

It could be really nice if DW figures out that I of course would like to reference the danish version of the element on my danish paragraph.

Makes sense?

What DW version - and how do your language settings look like?

I seem to have similar issues with global elements (dw982) ...

When I add a global element to my Dutch master, the English laguage variant has that same Dutch global element.
And on the english language version the global element option is grayed out ...

I think I need to do some testing with my language settings

Is there any update on this feature request?

We are running DW 9.8.0 and have the same question.
