# Localize content to folders

**Release date: 17th June 2026**

Localize content directly into corresponding Dynamic Content repository **folders** - removing the need to manually move content after localization, keeping your folder structures consistent automatically without extra effort.

> **Note:** This is an optional feature available for content item level localization.
> 
> By default content item level localization behaves as before - placing newly localized content items into the top level of the destination repository.

## How to localize content to folders

Localizing content to folders follows the existing content item localization process, with the addition of the "Localize into folders" option which places variants in folders that correspond to the original item's location, rather than at the top level of the repository.

In this example, the content item to be localized is in the "Winter collection" folder:

![Dynamic Content library window with content selected to localize](https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/ampproduct/rn-localize-to-folder-2?w=1880&fmt=png 'Dynamic Content library window with content selected to localize')

With "Localize into folders" turned on, variants will be created in the same folder as the original rather than at the top level:

![Dynamic Content localize window showing the localize to folder option turned on](https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/ampproduct/rn-localize-to-folder?w=1880&fmt=png 'Dynamic Content localize window showing the localize to folder option turned on')

Once localized, the new variants appear in the "Winter collection" folder. Here, the original item has been localized into fr-FR and de-DE:

![Dynamic Content library window showing newly created localized content](https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/ampproduct/rn-localize-to-folder-3?w=1880&fmt=png 'Dynamic Content library window showing newly created localized content')

## Localizing with repository localization groups

When a repository localization group is used, enabling "Localize to folders" places localized variants in corresponding folders across each repository in the group.

For example, if the content is in a repository that belongs to a localization group with fr-FR and de-DE repositories, the new variants are created in the "Winter collection" folder in each repository:

![Dynamic Content library window with content selected to localize](https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/ampproduct/localize-to-folder-2?w=1880&fmt=png 'Dynamic Content library window with content selected to localize')

The fr-FR variant is created in the "Winter collection" folder in the French repository:

![Dynamic Content library window showing content localized to repository folder](https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/ampproduct/rn-localize-to-folder-group-fr?w=1880&fmt=png 'Dynamic Content library window showing content localized to repository folder')

The de-DE variant is created in the "Winter collection" folder in the German repository:

![Dynamic Content library window showing content localized to repository folder](https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/ampproduct/rn-localize-to-folder-group-de?w=1880&fmt=png 'Dynamic Content library window showing content localized to repository folder')

> **Note: Folders are created where necessary**
> If the matching folder doesn't exist in the destination repository, it's created automatically.
