How to clone a node without translations

Question

I have a site with multiple language. Assume I have a node (nid = 1) with origin languages is en and translate to es. And I clone this node with code:

$node = Node::load(1);
$nodeDuplicate = $node->createDuplicate();
$nodeDuplicate->save();

And I have a new node (nid = 2), and the new node have two content translate en, es same the node id 1.

But I don't want clone all content translate. I only want to clone one language es or en. So how can do that?

Answer 1

A suggestion : use ->removeTranslation() to get rid of the languages you don't want to be cloned.

Example to get rid of 'es language' so that we clone only the english version :

$langcodetoremove = 'es';
$node = \Drupal\node\Entity\Node::load(1);
$node->removeTranslation($langcodetoremove);
$nodeDuplicate = $node->createDuplicate();
$nodeDuplicate->save();

hope this helps

Answer 2

You can create a new node with the field values retrieved from the (translated) node:

$node = Node::load(1);
$values = $node->getTranslation('es')->toArray();
// remove nid, uuid, vid and revision details from $values
$node_duplicate = Node::create($values);
$node_duplicate->save();

Answer 3

Try this:

$node = Node::load(1);
$nodeDuplicate = $node->createDuplicate();

$langcode = 'fr';  
$nodeDuplicate->removeTranslation($langcode);
$nodeDuplicate->save();

Answer 4

You can try to use this code for copy translation with all field types and all node types:

<?php use Drupal\node\Entity\Node; $exclude = [ 'nid', 'vid', 'revision_timestamp', 'revision_uid', 'revision_log', 'revision_default', 'revision_translation_affected', 'content_translation_source', 'content_translation_outdated', 'created', 'changed', 'default_langcode', 'uuid' ]; $node = Node::load(NODE_ID); if (!empty($node->hasTranslation(LANGCODE))) { $node = $node->getTranslation(LANGCODE); } $node_type = $node->getType(); $fields = $node->getFieldDefinitions('node', $node_type); $copyied_fields = []; foreach ($fields as $field_name => $field_definition) { $field_name = $field_definition->getName(); if (!in_array($field_name, $exclude)) { $field_value = $node->$field_name->value; if (empty($field_value)) { $field_value = $node->$field_name->getValue(); } $copyied_fields[$field_name] = $field_value; // Add body format. if ($field_name == 'body') { $copyied_fields['body'] = array( 'value' => $node->body->value, 'format' => 'full_html', ); } } } $new_node = Node::create($copyied_fields); $new_node->save();
