You need the same piece in more than one language – German and English, say – produced in a single merge. Variants let you keep every language in one project and export them together.
Open the Variants manager – it loads in a separate window. You can open it from a node’s variant settings widget, or from Export → Variants. Add a variant for each language and give it a name, a file suffix (de, en), a locale, and a colour. The colour is what makes variant-tagged nodes easy to spot in the editor.

Select a node, open its settings panel, and choose the Variant it belongs to. The default is All Variants – leave shared, language-neutral nodes (logo, layout, static elements) on that. Tag language-specific nodes – the German text, the English text – with their variant.

Mind the connection rules: an All Variants node can connect to anything. A node tagged Variant A can connect only to Variant A or All Variants nodes – never directly to Variant B. Keep that in mind when you wire up the language-specific branches.
Go to Export → Variants and select the variants you want to produce. Each variant exports its own files, with its suffix appended at the end of the file name.

Before exporting, open the Preview (eye icon) and step through the variants to check each language renders correctly.
One run, every language – flyer_de.pdf, flyer_en.pdf – from a single project.
