In order for the 'Content translation' module to be more helpful, I would expect it to copy some settings from the default language to the newly translated language:

  • When I create a translation of a page (node/*/translate) It doesn't copy the 'Menu settings' from the original to the translated page. I would expect 'Parent item' and 'Weight' to be copied from the original page.
  • The same applies to 'URL path settings'. By default, I would like to use the same name as the original. (That's what the language path prefix is for, isn't it?)

These aren't critical issues, but this would greatly improve the user experience. I don't like to do such repetitive task manually, because it's not comfortable, and it's prone to errors. I expect the CMS to do that for me.

This is all available in i18n module for Drupal 6 and will possibly be available in Drupal 7 if people work on integrating this into Drupal core.
