Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.As I see it, there is currently no support for exporting custom blocks with multiple languages. Only the default language is exported. Is implementation planned for this?
Note: Normal blocks can be translated without the Structure Sync module.

awolfey commentedHere's a draft patch for block translation, using the Full method. It works for fields, but isn't really handling much else at this point.
I also noticed while working on this that only the first value of any field is exported/imported. I left that as is.

Comment #9
louis-cuny commentedI just added the structure sync module and this patch to a project with already existing blocks in many languages.
The exported structure_sync.data.yml seems correct to me.
Then on a staging environment I did a drush ib --choice=force
The non-english custom blocks disapeared.
Did the patch work for anybody ? Did a do something wrong ?
Comment #10
louis-cuny commentedI took a different way to write the exported block translations.
I handled both exporting and importing in safe, full and forced.
Let me know if everything works as expected for you

dabley commentedPatch #12 doesnt apply to the latest version of Structure Sync (v2.0.5).
@louis-cuny - you have flagged this as "Needs Work" but it isn't clear what further work needs to be done. Can you clarify?
Comment #15
louis-cuny commentedThe patch I created didn't work like I expected, I cannot remember exactly what was not working but their was some bugs
Comment #16
ressaJust clarifying that this issue is about custom blocks, since normal blocks are treating as configuration, and can be translated without this module.
