Can we expect a version of the Language Sections module for Drupal 7?

Hi,

I will leave this thread open, hoping to see comments from more people wanting a D7 version.

The answer is yes, the question is when :) All of my professional work is still D6 based - that will change of course. I do need to set up a D7 development environment soon - migrating LS to D7 should be a useful exercise for me. Um.. in a couple of months maybe.

I think this is really interesting.
Can this module accomplish my question posed in the 'internationalisation'-module section:

I have a content-type 'events' in wich users submitting events must be able to only supply a title and a description in multiple languages.
Basically, is i t possible to create from within the content-type:
title: (default language dutch)
title EN:
title DE:
title FR:

Description: (default)
Description EN:
Description DE:
Description FR:

All the other data (date, locations, pictures) are translated automatically or do not need translation.

Thx & kind regards!

It sounds like it would work using LS with LS Extras. But possibly a better way would be to put titles and descriptions into fields (cck), then use some custom code to display the correct language.

Are you using D7?

Yes I am D7.

Just stumbled upon the entity translation and title module. I am experienceing with this though your suggestion creating different fields per language looks a good solution. But i don't have any programming knowledge, so regarding the custom coding, can you help?
I will apply 4 languages.
Grtz & Thx for your time!

I can help, but I do Drupal development professionally (i.e. my main source of income) so can't offer much for free, sorry! If it's a commercial project, please post me a private message via the contact form here, or at my site and we can work something out.

At this moment i am prospecting. I found the module entity translation that does the job in a clean way. Just the display isn't as i described, but i can certainly found a solution for that.

Any way, if needed i will contact you!
Thx!

Ok cool. Yesterday I made a start on a D7 version of LS. An initial version will probably be available later today.
