Adds the ability to create a project using an existing in the Payload repo example through `create-payload-app`: For example: `pnpx create-payload-app --example custom-server` - creates a project from the [custom-server](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/examples/custom-server) example. This is much easier and faster then downloading the whole repo and copying the example to another folder. Note that we don't configure the payload config with the storage / DB adapter there because examples can be very specific.

# Payload Localization Example (i18n)
|
||
|
||
This example is built based on an old version of the website template.
|
||
|
||
The objective is to show how to implement localization in a website. There is no guarantee that it will be kept up to date with the website template or the latest Payload enhancements.
|
||
|
||
To facilitate the localization process, this example uses the next-intl library.
|
||
|
||
## Setup
|
||
|
||
1. Run the following command to create a project from the example:
|
||
|
||
- `npx create-payload-app --example localization`
|
||
|
||
2. `cp .env.example .env` (copy the .env.example file to .env)
|
||
3. `pnpm install`
|
||
4. `pnpm run dev`
|
||
5. Seed your database in the admin panel (see below)
|
||
|
||
## Seed
|
||
|
||
To seed the database with a few pages, posts, and projects you can click the 'seed database' link from the admin panel.
|
||
|
||
The seed script will also create a demo user for demonstration purposes only:
|
||
|
||
- Demo Author
|
||
- Email: `demo-author@payloadcms.com`
|
||
- Password: `password`
|
||
|
||
> NOTICE: seeding the database is destructive because it drops your current database to populate a fresh one from the seed template. Only run this command if you are starting a new project or can afford to lose your current data.
|
||
|
||
## Important!
|
||
|
||
The seed script only creates translations in English and Spanish, so you will not see the website translated to other languages even if you see them in the dropdown menu.
|
||
|
||
You can translate documents to other languages from the admin panel.
