Curated Widget
Purpose
The Curated Experience provides the ability to establish a curated list of items (news, events, people, etc.). The supporting SharePoint list is considered language neutral. When you create your articles, the default language version of the content should always be created first. Example if your default language is in English then you should create the English article first and then other language version of the content.
