Hi John,

There is no way to accomplish it so far.

I have asked for something similar myself a while ago: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/forum/cms-standard-features/cms-standard-features/list-languages/websites-with-permissions

Maybe Nicolai will have a good Christmas surprise for us :)

It's not exactly what you are looking for, but maybe you can use it anyway...

You can configure permissions on the website and set permission to "None" for the system roles "Anonymous users (frontend)" and "Authenticated users (frontend)".

The pages will still be accessible in front end, but the main content is not displayed. You can choose to display a login form by selecting a login template on the website (or use the login template to display a message, redirect to somewhere else, etc.).

However, you will have to grant permission to some user (or user group) and use that for front end authentication if you need to preview the pages.

Best regards,
Morten

Hi Morten, 

Thank you for your prompt reply. As long as this would prevent the language switch from appearing that'd fine, but as I recall it doesn't. 

We really miss the standard feature from Dynamicweb to have some sort of Draft version in the website settings so it doesn't show yet. We have built some custom code earlier so the client could start translating the content and, until finished, it wouldn't appear in the frontend at all. Now we have this situation again with a different customer, Nikolai missed this back in April previous year already and I guess we're not the only ones. To be honest we were quiet surprised this has not been developed already nor it's been placed on some sort of know bug or roadmap. 

Could this be noted and planned somehow?
