Experimental modules and features

There are a number of new modules, grouped as i18n - Experimental, providing some new features. These are new developments with some of them proof of concept that will be extended in the future and some of them only needing some further testing before being considered production quality.

i18n Taxonomy

This allows for the translation of taxonomy terms using the localization system for chosen vocabularies. This is a temporary solution for term translation. Currently it supports node edit forms, node links, and views filters and fields. Other types of taxonomy terms cannot be translated.

Synchronization

This keeps taxonomy term translations synchronized for all nodes in a translation set. For chosen vocabularies, it automatically updates all nodes that are part of the translation of a node that has been edited or created. This module is the first step of what may be an additional synchronization layer for node translations.

Strings

This is a proof of concept implementation of 'configurable string translation' as outlined here: http://groups.drupal.org/node/1880
It provides a basic interface for string translation and a 'tt' function intended to be used by other modules to have web configurable strings tracked and translated on the fly.

i18n - Content Types

This provides translation for content types like names, descriptions, and help texts using the Strings module.

Translatable Text

This is a proof of concept implementation of a translatable text field for CCK. It requires a small one line patch in content.module to disable caching.
