The fact sheet compares every language of a site
On a WordPress site in more than one language, the fact sheet now compares each page with its translations, fact by fact, and asks you to decide only where they really disagree.

A price that is right in English and wrong in Dutch costs trust in both languages. The fact sheet now reads a multilingual site the way a careful editor would.
Every page against its translations
- Fact by fact. On a site with WPML or Polylang, each page and post is compared with its translations: prices, opening days and hours, terms such as fuel or deposits, contact ways and extras.
- Different words, same fact. "EUR 35 per day" and "€ 35,- per dag" are one price, "+31 20 555 0101" and "020 555 0101" one number, "Mon–Sat 9.00–19.00" and "Monday to Saturday, 09:00 to 19:00" the same hours. They never ask for a decision.
- Real differences, as a choice. A price, an opening day or a term that differs between languages becomes a conflict with one side per language, and the side in another language shows what it says in English.
- One language only. An extra that only one language mentions is kept as a fact of that language.
Deciding stays simple
Pick the right side and the fact is kept in English for every article and page; the page in the other language is listed as still to fix. A value you turned down earlier does not come back as a choice.
