Hello,

Is there any way that i could translate my contents,menus and taxonomy terms from english to japanesse?
without manual posting my japanesse texts..i already installed the ja-6.x-1.2 project in my root folder but still i cant view the japanesse interface.

I find it hard to convert my english text to japanesse..and also if you create a translated contents of a node drupal will create another node for that..so if you display nodes in a term then youll get 2 nodes the one in english and the other is for the japanesse..well i'll find it inconsistent.

Maybe i missed something..though i just experimenting on this...please give me some advice on better use of multilingual.

Any help is very much appreciated.

I use on page localization(http://drupal.org/project/l10n_client) it helps me a lot.
first, enclose your screen texts with t()
then switch to another language so that you can localize it.
after create a new url_alias data in your database(url_alias table)
lets say you have this data in your url_alias table points to a node which is in english language(en)

5| node/3| about| en
then create a new one for your newly translated text

6| node/3| about_ja| ja

Hope this helps...XD

Any additions or corrections are very welcomed...
