Added the "translate own content" - group access right item for logged in users

This is great and very much needed for drupal 6. I tried your patch on the current 6.13 release and it fails. After adding the changes manually, it seems to work well, but when someone without "translate all" permission actually tries to add a new translation to a node I get a white screen. Could someone check if this still works? I know there is work done on the drupal7 branch but not for D6.

ok I did the manual patching again this time everything seems fine. Thanks! Still I think this should be in the 6.x code. Its a much requested feature if you do a search on drupal.org.

Hello,

I am might need this patch and have no clue how to apply it. Could you please send me a hint? Thank you in advance.
I use D6 + Internationalization + locale and all I can do is give permission to users to translate the site's entire content. Not good for me.
Cheers,

A-P

I searched to have a 'translate content' permission only for a person with update permission on the node, so other people with only 'view' permission on the node will not be able to translate the node,
To do that, I only change the word 'view' to 'update' in _translation_tab_access funtion of translation.module; line 79 (in drupal 6.16 version) :
this

 function _translation_tab_access($node) {
  return !empty($node->language) && translation_supported_type($node->type) && node_access('view', $node) && user_access('translate content');
}

replace with :

 function _translation_tab_access($node) {
  return !empty($node->language) && translation_supported_type($node->type) && node_access('update', $node) && user_access('translate content');
}

hope this will help !

thank you lucuhb, this seems to work well for me. Cheers.

#4 works.

Do we really have to break core for this bug to be fixed? :(

how do we promote #4 to core?

Try this patch.

Updating status.

translate-own-nodes.patch queued for re-testing.

translate-own-nodes.patch queued for re-testing.

I ain't sure this is a bug or a feature request. In any case this must be addressed in D8 now.

#4 it works for me, thanks.

@laraz:

Although hacking core may work for you, please leave this open so we can come up with a proper solution at least for D8.

@plach ok! sorry.

Duplicated of #253157: Add "Translate own content" permission, rename "Translate content" to "Translate all content".
