# Publishing multi-language Sitecore items leads to a large amount of items being processed
## Description

When publishing an item that has many languages on it, you see that it's in fact processed many times.
For example, if you have an item in Danish, English, and German versions, the publishing process will look like this:

* The Danish language item is processed in Danish, English, and German.
* The English language item is processed in Danish, English, and German.
* The German language item is processed in Danish, English, and German.
* The target item is processed in Danish, English, and German.

## Cause

This is a known behavior of the `AddLanguagesToQueue` Sitecore processor.

## Resolution

For more details on the behavior of the `AddLanguagesToQueue` processor and a solution to minimize its overhead, see [Publishing in Multilingual Sitecore Sites - Reducing the Overhead](http://sitecoreskills.blogspot.ca/2015/07/publishing-in-multilingual-sitecore.html).
