# ignore mode

The `ignore` mode keeps values isolated per language store with no propagation to other languages.

## At save time

- Keeps values isolated per language store.
- No propagation is triggered.

## During import

- Value is copied into the default-language store as part of seeding only when the default-language value is empty.
- No propagation is triggered to other language stores.

## When to use

Use `ignore` for fields that are language-specific and should not be copied automatically, such as localized legal notes, market-specific disclaimers, and regional messaging. Fields without an explicit translation mode are treated as `ignore` by default. See [Field translation overview](https://www.wp-polyfields.com/docs/field-translation-modes/field-translation-overview/) for more guidance.
