Validation will tell the user at any time what the missing bits and pieces are in the design. Validation can be launched manually, via the Validate button in the toolbar and will be performed for all languages at once.
The errors and warnings displayed in the lower part apply however to the current language only. But, when navigating the different languages, the errors and warnings for that language are immediately displayed as validation is done for all languages at once.
Note: Validation is performed for all languages at once. When validation fails in one of the languages publishing the content is not possible.
Some of the validation errors returned for a language will block publishing of the content. These are displayed in red. Others are informative or just a warning (orange and green).
When there are blocking messages in other languages than the current one, an additional tab is displayed with an indication of this. The user will then know that publishing is not possible as there are still errors in other languages.
The first tab includes all errors and warnings for the current language. The other tabs only show specific errors, warnings or informative messages.
Click a message in the lower part of the screen to highlight the section referred to in the error and correct the problem.
