Describe the bug

I have a collection faq-groups that enabled localization for it, it is working fine when I trying to fetch the locale for the collection, by:

http://localhost:1337/api/faq-groups?locale=ar

{
      "data": [
            {
                  "id": 2,
                  "attributes": {
                        "Name": "عام",
                        "Description": "fssf",
                        "createdAt": "2023-02-22T13:28:46.344Z",
                        "updatedAt": "2023-02-27T07:37:21.103Z",
                        "publishedAt": "2023-02-22T13:33:38.389Z",
                        "locale": "ar"
                  }
            }
      ],
      "meta": {
            "pagination": {
                  "page": 1,
                  "pageSize": 25,
                  "pageCount": 1,
                  "total": 1
            }
      }
}

but it failed to retrieve the locale for a specific item from this collection, by:

http://localhost:1337/api/faq-groups/1?locale=ar

and this returned only English locale:

{
      "data": {
            "id": 1,
            "attributes": {
                  "Name": "general",
                  "Description": "srfd",
                  "createdAt": "2023-02-22T13:28:40.645Z",
                  "updatedAt": "2023-02-27T08:31:54.555Z",
                  "publishedAt": "2023-02-22T13:33:25.442Z",
                  "locale": "en"
            }
      },
      "meta": {}
}

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Create a collection of your choice, enable the Internationalization for it, and fetch one item after adding data with its localization.

Expected behavior

Getting the data in a requested locale for an item from a collection.

Hello :)
Currently, in strapi each locale is assigned to a different id, by looking at your first response, the id of the AR entity is '2'.

However, you can retrieve, for entity 1, the other localizations.

From the strapi docs:
The localizations (object) can be included if specifically requested by appending ?populate=localizations to the URL (see relations population documentation. It includes a data array with a list of objects, each of them including the id and attributes of the localization.

Would that be enough for your use case?

This won't be enough if I want to get the questions for this group with id "1" in locale "AR", I have a relationship between the groups and questions (one2many: each group will hold many questions).

http://localhost:1337/api/faq-groups/1?locale=ar&populate=faq_questions

Is there any workaround to make this work?

[Marc-Roig]

you could do
http://localhost:1337/api/faq-groups/1?&populate=localizations.faq_questions

this way you could have access to the other locales of that entity with faq_questions populated.

I am closing this issue for now :) As it has a workaround and it would be more of an enhancement or feature request (which could be requested on canny

If for some reason the query doesnt work for you we can reopen this issue!

This didn't resolve my issue, unfortunately, so could you reopen it?
