Details
I have an Experience Cloud site configured with 6 languages.
- When my user language is set to English:
- Searching for a Knowledge article returns the expected article.
- Navigating via the menu (Topic → Product) also shows the article on the Topic Detail page.
- When my user language is set to Spanish:
- Searching for the same Knowledge article returns the Spanish translation correctly.
- However, when navigating via the menu (Topic → Product), the article does not appear on the Topic Detail page.
The Spanish version of the article:
- Is published
- Is visible to the correct channel
- Is a translation of the English article
Question:
Is it expected behavior that Topics must be manually assigned to each translated Knowledge article for them to appear on Topic Detail pages? Or is there a way for topic assignments to automatically carry over from the original (English) article to its translations?

Hi @Steve Lopez
This is expected behavior in Experience Cloud. Topics are assigned at the article version level, and each translated Knowledge article is treated as a separate version. Because of this, topic assignments from the original (English) article do not automatically carry over to its translations.
That’s why your Spanish article appears in search, but does not show on the Topic Detail page unless the same topic is explicitly assigned to that translated version.
So yes, you’ll need to manually assign topics to each translation if you want them to appear in topic-based navigation.
If you find this helpful, then please mark it as best.
