Hey Thomas,

are there any plans or thoughts about support for translated field in search_api?
When using http://drupal.org/project/entity_translation there's only one entity/node containing several translation via translated fields, as opposed to multiple nodes for each language in the traditional i18n/content translation solution.

As of now, there is no possiblity to cleanly implement a language-aware search for content with translated fields. Hm.
Adding support in search_api for entity translation / translated fields would make great sense - given the usfulness of entity translations and the statements hinting that translation in D8 could be based on translated fields instead of multiple nodes in translations sets.

We're working an a project in need for such a solution, so we are willing to help and support this in any way.
What would be necessary to get this working (changes, work, prerequisites)?
What are your thoughts about this?

cheers,

daniel

I think the right link is #1323168: Add support for translated fields :)

Hey guys!

Finally we have a dedicated place to get support for entity translations into Search API:

The "Search API Entity Translation" module already offers very basic support to search through all entity translations of an entity via Search API:

http://drupal.org/project/search_api_et

This is a really handy quick win for all those in desperate need of somehow searching though multilingual content managed via Entity Translation.
More important: There is an issue to discuss and decide on how to support a more delicate and truely language-aware searchability for Entity Translation in Search API:
