I'm running a multi-language site.
I can successfully translate the text of the email template with the integrated drupal translation interface at admin/build/translate.
However, email are sent still only in english, even if the users (both node authors or commenters) have set-up in their account the default email language to be German or Italian.
I'm running Drupal 6.20 and also Mail Editor. However there I can't see any email text related to this module to be translated...
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

2c commentedI hear you.
If you go to /admin/build/mail-edit then you should see the strings to be translated (see attached image). However, it seems tedious to have to translate them all individually.
A more efficient way would be to import a .po file from the page you already mentioned: admin/build/translate
In fact, I've already found a french .po file in this module's issue queue. However, when I import it from admin/build/translate/import, then 0 strings are reported as being translated. So it doesn't have any effect!
What is the most efficient way of translating the mail templates?

YK85 commentedI'm also having this same issue.
Can Mail Editor module integration be considered which will allow each email to be translated easily?
This would also allow emails to be sent as html emails.
Thank you very much for your time

gregglesI think mail editor should support this directly without any work from comment_notify.
If you have questions on how mail editor should work please ask in that module's queue.
I don't do multi-lingual sites very often so I'm not sure what I need to do to help support that scenario. If someone else is doing more multi-lingual sites please let me know (ideally with a patch with tests) and I will commit it.

drupalfan81 commentedHas anyone found a way to have comment notify work with sending the appropriate email based on the user's language setting?
I found mail editor to get create for easily adding the translated core User and LoginToboggan emails, but it doesn't work for comment notify. I believe an .inc file from comment notify needs to be supplied to use this module.
Are there any plans for having comment notify naively support sending out multiple language emails? I would think this would be a great add as most sites are going bilingual or multilingual these days.
Any ideas?
