Taxonomy internationalisation

In Drupal 6 you had 2 way to support multilingual taxonomy :

1) a master monolingual taxonomy with internationalization done by i18n module :

example of use : $termslg=tt('taxonomy:term:'.$term->tid.':name',$term->name);

Problem : only one master monolingual repository use in input form and no good environment to check and maintain translation of term for large list

2) a full parallel multilingual taxonomy system with term existing for each language

example of use : $termslg=i18ntaxonomy_translate_terms($terms, $lang);

Problem : each document are related to term in its own language and no standard support exists to support multilingual search based on the language synonym relation. That is e.g. a problem for "active translation" environment when you show to user all documents even if it is not translate

Proposal :

• Implement model 2) to support in standard definition of taxonomy search rules take into account extraction of all document whatever the language is (use of language synonym relation)

• If model 1) is kept and not replace by upgrated model 2), develop an editorial interface allowing maintenance and control of translation for large list of terms
