# Templates

The automatic translation of YOOtheme Pro **templates** is currently not part of the component scope.

This especially applies to templates used for:

* Category Blog views
* Category List views
* Archive layouts
* Custom templates for single article layouts

#### Required manual workflow

Templates must be handled manually:

1. Duplicate the existing template
2. Apply the required language-specific changes
3. Assign the duplicated template to the corresponding category / entities

This follows the standard Joomla multilingual workflow and cannot currently be automated by the translation component.

#### Advantage when using AI Translate

Even though templates themselves are not translated automatically, AI Translate still provides an important benefit:

Content inserted via **Dynamic Content** inside the template may still be translated automatically (exluding custom fields).

This means that dynamic article titles, descriptions, and other connected content can still be maintained through the component, reducing the manual workload significantly.
