Is there any way to make shoutbox multilingual ? When you browsing the page in english, shoutbox should show english shouts (and every shout added when browsing in english shoud be marked in code as english), when browsing in french for example, you should see only french shouts - and when u add a shout it should be marked as french.

Hmmm is this possible to make 2 shoutbox blocks and set one to display only in specific language ? (yousite.com/en/*).

nope it's not possible. However in Visibility settings - Languages you can set that Shoutbox only appear in specific language. So u can set up shoutbox to work with for example english language but shoutbox won't appear when your user change language for something else.

Version: 7.x-1.0-alpha1 » 7.x-1.x-dev

This is a possibility for a future version but I currently cannot commit to when that will be.

Ok, thx for answer I will wait till shoutbox could use this feature - cause normal version for multilingual site is not so good idea.

Great, but some ETA would be nice... like half a year, a year, 3 months. Not a specific release date but something we might consider when planing to use this great module.

How is the job going ? Do you need any help to test something ?

Is this possible to have 2 shoutbox on one site ? Then simply disallow /en/* would work nice if you ask me.

No it's not possibile and that is the one of the biggest issue.

Ahh you can display it twice, but you can't display 2 separate shoutboxs. Maybe Entity translations will work here?

I to need multilingual shoutbox. Will this feature soon be available ? Do maintainers plan to make this module available for multilingual sites ?

@batigol you are right. It's not possible to set 2 shoutboxs so only one appear on EN language prefix and the other on other language.

I would love to see that on my site. I guess it would be comments assigned to specific content type (or even a node - shoutbox) with entity module so they are marked with specific language and the quick change between languages is easy and simple.

Any news about this one ?

I guess no. To the time shoutbox will be internationalized I did create special node when all users can write comment and properly display it with help of views. It's working really nice, you can also use forum for that, with i18n 1.5++ its fully support internationalization. But look out for taxonomy translation problem in 1.7.
