Internationalization

I have the following situation: a site that has a second language added. Everything gets traslated. Now, I see this. There is a view with a page display. As path it gets "new-programmes/%". There is a possibility to add terms as argument. I found a solution to translate the terms. But when I open the french site I ge t this http://mysite.com/fr/new-programmes/term. I want to have the "new-programmes" translated to "nouveaux-programmes". This will result in http://mysite.com/fr/nouveaux-programmes/translated-term

We've just released the first (working) version of the Translation Management module.

The purpose of this module is to create a systematic process for translating large Drupal sites.

Highlights

• Dedicated Translator Role - translators have language pairs and can translate only in them.
• One Translation Dashboard page - shows everything that needs translation including nodes, blocks, CCK, strings and what-have-you.
• Translation Jobs Queue for translators - each translator sees the jobs waiting for him/her.
• Unified Translation Editor - no matter what you're translating, you're always doing it from the same page.

Who is Translating?

Right now, translators can be Drupal users. You can give Translator privileges to existing users or create new users for translators.

In the very near future, we're also working on an API for interfacing to translation services. This API would be open and any translation service is invited to create a connector for itself.

The Module Itself

The module is now released and working. You can get it from:
http://drupal.org/project/translation_management

There's no official guide yet, but this blog post should be a good place to start:
http://drupal-translation.com/content/translation-management-alive

This kind of thing is an enabling feature for using Drupal on enterprise Drupal sites. Managing translation work can be a huge task and we hope that this helps.

Feedback? Ideas? Comments?

I'm working on a website that will need to have multiple languages.

I'm using a few of the basic tools. When I create a node in the default language it will become /content/test002 is aliased to /node/227. This is as expected. I can also click the Translate tab and click a language I want to translate the node into. I'm also able to add the actual translation. This is also as expected.

Where it breaks... I'm not able to go to fr/content/test002. I get page not found.

I'm not sure what I'm missing to make this work.

Hi i18n group,

I would be extremely grateful for any input concerning the following reported i18n issue:

URL path alias for non-English default language pages only working for some web browsers

In short, the default language for the site in question (http://www.aur.no) is Norwegian Bokmal, which the client wants to appear without path prefix 'nb' for Nowegian users. When Norwegian Bokmal is set to have null (empty) path prefix all URL aliases for its nodes fail with Page Not Found error.

Drupal comes with a language negociation (D6: admin/settings/language/configure). One of the options is "path prefix with language fallback": If a suitable prefix is not identified, the display language is determined by the user's language preferences from the My Account page, or by the browser's language settings. The latter means it will look at Accept-Language in the http request and return the preferred language. I would like this still to work, together with Varnish cache.

Scenario:

I own a website in French. Someone from the UK visits my website (with an English browser of course). Drupal recognizes its language and serves the English version of the page.

How to do this ?

Content-negociation based on the browser language (Accept-Language in Apache terms, but I don't know it has any importance with Drupal, I think). That seems pretty basic to me, bt I may be wrong (I am not a coder).

I've translated the site using i18n module, everything works fine. I have to write some PHP code that, given default, original node ID, returns the full URL of the page.
So, e.g. full_url($nid=10) returns when English selected www.host.com/?q=node/10 , but in Dutch e.g. www.host.com/?q=nl/node/30

Is such a function available which will help me?

We are using 6.15/Apache for an English/Japanese multilingual site, having installed all necessary modules the language switching between English and Japanese is working for menus, polls, and nodes in general.

But when it comes to blocks nothing seemed to work, we created a block with simple description text to be shown at the sidebar :

1. We create the block with translation and than created string translation but the block would not switch into another language while using the content switching
