Hi,
I have a question...What if I want to use multilanguage news items. The news plugin lets you use {INDEX_NEWS}, but i really want something like {INDEX_{PHP.usr.lang}-news} (if you get my drift..  )Where I have the following categories: nl-news en-news What is/are the best way(s) to solve this... tnx ==- I say: Keep it EZ -==

Rewrite the news plugin I guess (and release it here). I think you should keep the news category as a fallback (the default language) and use 'en-news' if the user has english configured (dutch being the default) and just 'news' for dutch users.
if (usr.lang != cfg.defaultlang) ... |

Hi Gert,
Tnx..I am already rewriting the news plugin for language support...  And got it to work!! Index Template (TPL):
<div class="block">
{INDEX_NEWS_NL_NL_NEWS}
{INDEX_NEWS_EN_EN_NEWS}
</div>
In the news.php i do:
$ttmp=sed_get_news($v[0], "news.".$v[0], $v[1], $dadd, $v[2]);
$t->assign("INDEX_NEWS_".strtoupper($v[0]), $ttmp);
//sed_watch("INDEX_NEWS_".strtoupper($usr['lang'])."_".strtoupper($v[0]), $ttmp);
$t->assign("INDEX_NEWS_".strtoupper($usr['lang'])."_".strtoupper($v[0]), $ttmp);
My pagecategories are named: en_homepage en_news nl_homepage nl_news Notice the use of '_' instead of '-' It turned out that Xtemplate cannot use '-' in the assign ????? And I got separate tpl files for all separate news cats.. You cannot use the rewrite rules from the i18n example.. it needs '_'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Good idea about the original news cat as a fallback, I will use that! Releasing it will be difficult, because i have a custom news plugin.. I use a half baked 0.9 news plugin with additional hooks and other stuff I changed. ==- I say: Keep it EZ -==

I keep on busy with this multilanguage site...
I am now adding very nice stuff to the recentitems plugin. So this will become language aware (as I call it).. (optinal off course) But I am still wondering.... Why must I make these things.. Shouldn't this be in the standard cotonti package ?? (I mean this is NO rocket science I am making) What do others think off multilanguage in the default Cot ?? I am asking this because I am making to much 'corehacks', so upgrading will be more difficult for me, and that is something I would like to avoid... Added 56 days later: @Trustmaster: I see in the project tracker that you are starting Internationalization... I have some things already made and some 'good' ideas. Maybe I can help ? ==- I say: Keep it EZ -==

Sorry, I'm not posting any technical details on its implementation until the work is actually finished. It works on top of structure and pages without affecting them, as a plugin that stores i18n data in separate tables and provides interface for translation editing.
May the Source be with you!
