Ideas for Arc XP

Better support for internationalized author profiles

We have a use case wherein we need to add translated author bios in 10+ languages to the same profile in Author Service. The only way to currently do this is to add custom fields for all authors in Author Service, which makes the experience clunky with a high number of unused fields when authors only have translations in 1 or 2 of the total number of possible languages. This idea is to make the Arc author service internationalization experience better, perhaps by adding an "Add internationalization" button similar to the ones available already (in the attached screenshot), which allows users to populate new translated fields (bios, bylines) if and when they need to.

    That long list of various social media links takes up a lot of unnecessary real estate. There should be one button that says add social media or something like that, then a dialogue with a dropdown with the social media types.
