locale=all can not be used to get all entries in all locales#

In Strapi 5, the locale=all parameter no longer retrieves all localized versions; instead, specific locale values must be requested individually.

In Strapi 5, it's no longer possible to get all localized versions of a content type with the locale=all parameter.

Breaking change description#

In Strapi v4

Users could get all of the locales of a single type by passing the locale=all parameter to Content API calls. This is not possible on collection types.

In Strapi 5

Getting documents (collection types or single types) in all locales at the same time is not possible anymore. A specific locale value must be passed.

Migration#

Notes#

Additional information on what is possible to do with locale in Strapi 5 is available in the REST API, GraphQL API, and Document Service API reference documentations.

Manual procedure#

Users having custom code sending queries with the locale=all parameter should manually update their code to list all available locales then request data for each of these locales one by one.
