The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Hello
I believe that the localizer module is a very good effort. Perhaps it is a little bit better than the internationalization module that is commonly used. I only propose the following improvements:
1. RSS feeds and categories. There should be a language field in adding a new feed or feed category. For example some user could be able to read english feeds only, another one greek feeds only.
2. Site name, slogan, mission, etc. There should be a way to support such variables multilingually.
3. Blocks. If language = english, I want block A to appear, otherwise I want block B to appear. Is this possible? Or again should there be a new language field in adding a new block?
4. Menus. This is not a request really, my experience with Drupal is not much, but isn't there already menu translation support by the locale (core) module? After importing the greek language, my menus appear perfectly in greek!
Thank you
Best regards

Roberto Gerola commented> 1. RSS feeds and categories. There should be a language field in adding a new feed or feed category.
What do you mean ? Where should be the language field added ?
The RSS feeds exported by Drupal are already localized, beacuse the feeds are nodes.
The only option that yet is missing, is the availability of localized links for RSS, like rss.en.xml, rss.it.xml

I agree : http://drupal.org/node/105904
> 3. Blocks. If language = english, I want block A to appear, otherwise I want block B to appear
Already implemented in the release x.6

Are already translated only your Drupal menus, not the menus provided by you.
And the locale module shouldn't be used to translate user provided content, like menus
and taxonomy terms and vocabularies :http://groups.drupal.org/node/1827
Thank you for your feedback.

Comment #2
palazis commentedThank you very much for your (very fast!) answer.
No 4 and 3 issues are very clear now. About No 2 we agree, is it going to be implemented somehow?
About No 1 issue, perhaps I didn't express it very well. I was referring to the news aggregator module.
When I use Administer->Content management->News aggregator to add a new feed, there's no language
field there. This means that users who choose News Aggregator from the main menu, see ALL news in ALL
languages. And finally (this can be a No 5 and I think I ask for too much!) could there be an option in these 2
language blocks? To be able to choose language from a list field instead of seeing ALL languages with their flags?
Only because there might be 4-5 or more languages there. Space is valuable sometimes.
Thank you in advance
Comment #3
schnizZzla commentedWhat about translation in the profile or was it already mentioned? Do you have something in progress?
At this time I'am using a slash or a dash in profile categories and fields. This does not look very nice where almost everything is translated (see attached image).

Roberto Gerola commentedTroy as provided a submodule today.
I'll work on integrate it.
So, it is in progress, yes.
Comment #5
sunMost of the requests are fixed in the latest development snapshot.
Please file separate issues for each request in the future. Request collections are not a suitable base for developing.
