Hi,

I have a multilingual site and need two Dynamic Display Blocks. The translation module allows you to set what language to show the block on. This can be set within the block, the menu to do so shows, however settings are not saved and return to the default 'All languages'.

Regards,

Marius

Here is a way to do multilingual. First you create the pages that is shown in the Dynamic Display block and translate them.

Then you create the view you need for the block (as per the install instructions) to display. Add the language filter in the view and use the "user's language or no language content".

Create a ddblock as per install options. Make sure it is "Language neutral", go to the blocks set up if need be.

Now, the block will show content only in the language you select.

Example can be seen at http://www.samipath.com the front page is the same for all three languages using the exact same node (set to language neutral) using composite module.

So, afaik, it works very well with multilanguage sites.

Thanks again...your approach actually clarified a ton on how to set up translation properly where I was struggling with all the options available. So your advice helped in other places too!

So how do you translate the "Read more..." link for multiple languages? I can't seem to find it by Translate interface -> Search. I think the text is placed inside the template.php file...

Have a look at the issue how can I change the "Read more..." text?

Tip:
You can search issue queues on all issue, (set status to any) to get direct answers. e.g search in this case on "read more".

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.
