Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Ok, when looking at the maintenance text in either language it works fine:
/fr/admin/config/development/maintenance
/en/admin/config/development/maintenance
However, I'd think I could switch between them by clicking the link for English or French and going:
/en/admin/config/development/maintenance?i18n_variable_language=fr
However, that seems to do nothing.
Also, thought I'd mention that this wiki page needs to have docs on this module:
http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/locale
Bit of a tangent, but not sure where to go from:

The issue for D8 is marked as won't fix.

jose reyero commentedDefault values always display translated as long as you don't actually save the variables. Default values also depend on current interface language.
This is not related to locale module, but a layer on top of it, and a different module so handbook must be separated. And anyway, Variable doesn't handle multilingual variables itself, that's i18n.
So I understand the issue here is that for variables not yet saved, the defaults don't get localized when you click on the variable form language selector, is that right?

mgiffordJust bringing in a screenshot for clarification.
Variables brings in the top fieldset with the English/French toggle.
I can click on the English/French (and that value becomes bold). But in saving the "Words to ignore" values it always seems to be setting the default value and not a localized version.
I've been under the assumption that I can either browse the admin pages in the language of choice (in which case I should be presented with the localized version of that variable) or I could click on the Multi-lingual variable link at the top of the form and have the variables presented in an alternate language.
Sadly, I just keep getting the default values. Now it could well be that it's because I haven't declared my Variables correctly (as per previous posts).
Hope this helps clarify what I'm doing.

jose reyero commentedVariables that are set to be multilingual are marked on the form ("This is a multilingual variable"). Like here, http://drupal.org/node/1113374

mgiffordIt's using an admin theme that's hiding the description text including the:
Sadly my screenshot didn't capture that.

mgiffordI should have set the status back in my last post.

jose reyero commentedThis part has been reworked (variable 2.x) and AFAIK it is working fine.
