Support of multilanguage taxonomy (i18n) [#168908]

Hi there,

Internationalization will be one of the drupal 6 credo, so I think it could be really great if this module could support multilanguage terms. I try to test if it support that and... no :-/

Look my screen to understand the problem.

#1 : This is my terms translation, it's to show that I correctly configure my terms translation

#2 : This is my content taxonomy in the native language (french)

#3 : This is the behavior of content taxonomy when I switch language (it should show my english taxonomy).

Is this a bug or internationalisation is not supported yet ? How can it be fixed ?

thanks

Hi!
Multi language taxonomy is a great thing. At the moment it's not implemented, but I'm sure this feature will come into my module, at least in drupal-6.
I don't know much about i18n module yet, so I can't say, if it's easy to implement (even in drupal-5 version), but I think so.
Maybe someone wants to provide a patch?

I don't understand why, if saved as Tag, it's not compatible with i18n...

Saved as tag exactly do the same job that if we choose in the core taxonomy list ? and i18n is compatible with the core taxonomy module..?

So I don't understand why it doesn't work, I don't know if the problem come from content taxonomy or i18n (or something else) because I don't know well how work a module.

Can somebody help me to resolve this problem ? It will be usefull later as drupal 6 is core multilanguage and the core multilanguage of drupal 6 is based on i18n I think.... so the work won't be lost...

subscribing, I thought the option to "Synchronize node translations" would translate the tags. I have the exact same problem.

Actually, I made it work.

You have to activate the "synchronize" experimental i18n module. Activate at least two languages. Then create a taxonomy which is set to no language (a blank field in the language selector). Then create your terms, set the language for each term you create. Create the translations for the terms, set the language to the new language.

Then you have to go to the translate screen in the categories listing page, now you will see a drop down for each language where you can select the terms for each language and make the translations.

Cumbersome interface, though. No mass update, no way to move things around, no way to see at a glance if a language is set for a term. Overall horrible experience, especially if you have to add more than one language...

Works nice. http://www.samipath.com/ to see it in action.

However you'd need an account (probably administrative too) so see a node created implementing your solution. How about a screenshot or two instead ? ;)

I followed your advices, butt I can't make it work.

When I enable the synchronisation, then, tanslate my content, my content taxonomy fields are empty, only the title (in the default language) appears...
