Description

Installing a package on Sitecore Experience Accelerator (SXA) sites might result in adding an invariant language for an item. The issue occurs because the FlagPublishingGroupingItems handler creates an invariant language item version from a partial design.

Solution

To resolve the issue, consider the following options:

• Upgrade your instance to SXA 10.2 or later
• For SXA 10.1, download and install the corresponding cumulative hotfix available in KB1001756
• For SXA 9.3, download and install the corresponding cumulative hotfix available in KB1001754

Alternatively, you can assign the XA.Foundation.Publishing.FlagPublishingGroupingItems.Enabled setting to false by patching the Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Publication.config file. This allows skipping the default behavior of the FlagPublishingGroupingItems handler.
