[3.x]: Propogation settings are confusing

[karensg]

What happened?

Description

The propagation settings of fields are confusing.
I have chosen to translate the field for each language. I have 10+ sites on the website. Two of them are: Europe with hreflang en en United Kingdom with hrelfang en-uk. While they are the same language and I want them to have the same content most of the time, Craft considers them as different ones.

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

To not break anything, I would suggest renaming this translation method to translate for each language and region and add a new one translate for each language. The latter method would check the first two letters of the defined hreflang.

Craft CMS version

3.7.38

Converted to a discussion as this is not a bug. The setting is referring to the sites’ “Language” settings, where you would have selected “English (United Kingdom)”.

If you’re looking for a way to configure the field to always have the same content for your “en-GB” and ”en” sites, select “Custom” for the translation method and use this code for the translation key.

{{ object.site.language|split('-')[0] }}
