# Dimensions

The Dimensions app manages alternative versions of a story across top-level folders, one per language, region, market, or similar variant. A typical use is a multilingual website: duplicate a story into each language folder, then adjust each copy on its own. The app links corresponding stories across folders, which search engines use to associate [localized versions](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/specialty/international/localized-versions) of a page.

This is one of several approaches to [internationalization](/docs/concepts/internationalization).

## Features

The app adds the following actions:

-   **Clone All** duplicates the story into every top-level folder.
-   **Create Clone** duplicates the story into a folder you select.
-   **Merge All** copies the block structure into the corresponding story in every other folder.
-   **Merge** copies the block structure into the corresponding story in a folder you select.
-   **Overwrite** replaces both structure and content in the destination folder.
-   **Clone and AI Translations** duplicates the story and translates its fields with [AI assistance](/docs/manuals/ai-assistance).

Individual fields can be set to force overwrite, or excluded from overwrite, merge, or AI translation. Blocks fields are supported, and all actions work in both directions.

## Setup

1.  Install the app and arrange the space so that each locale has its own top-level folder.
2.  Open **Settings** → **Dimensions** and select the folders the app may act on.
3.  Open a story and select the **Dimensions** tab from the languages dropdown in the Visual Editor.
