Glossary does not work effectively with i18n

have u tried this one>? http://drupal.org/project/l10n_client instead of i18n.
i know that's not what you r asking for but it might works for you.
Check the screencasts for better understanding.

I had the same problems with other langs and worked just fine.

correct me if i m wrong but what'r u saying is that " . . . altgough i've translated my terms . . . i still get nothing or i have two versions ( each language) on each page ?
When you say glossary you mean basic Drupal "code-words" as views,taxonomy etc. ? Cause i think if so it's more configuration issue and not a bug or something/

P.S Did u try various combination of the options inside site configuration->languages ?
do u have enabled path prefix only ( or with fallback ) at the configure tab ?
have u watched this screencast ? http://blip.tv/file/611791 it mights help . :D
. . .
check here for example www.plasisgroup.com left column languages block ( Ελληνικά English ) you want to do something similar ? when pressing english -> all site translated into english and vise versa.

I seem to have the same problem.
I defined a single term in 3 languages. it is an acronym, so it is the same term, but with different description in the 3 languages.
However, Glossary always displays the first term it finds whatever is the node language.
It seems that Glossary is totally ignorant of language.

Not sure my issue is related to this one.
I opened a new thread
http://drupal.org/node/401348

Disabling the cache on the glossary seems risky for the performance !

"..think I have a solution!"
What is the solution?
Do you mean that simply going to "admin/settings/glossary/clearcache" can makes it work?
- that a the same term defined in different languages will pop up correctly according to the language page?
- that the glossary cache must be cleared each time the page language changes?

Thank you, this is crystal clear.
I changed the status to bug, as we know now that the feature almost works, and the supporting phase is over...

Something is missing in Glossary code. Hoping a better solution will come up soon!

if you use different terms/language in taxonomy, you can change this function in glossary.module & it will work:

function _glossary_get_terms($format) {
  static $terms = FALSE;
  $show_all = variable_get('glossary_allow_no_description', FALSE);
  $taxonomy_image_enabled = module_exists('taxonomy_image');

  if ($terms === FALSE) {
    $terms = $synonyms = array();
    $vids = variable_get("glossary_vids_$format", 0);

    foreach ($vids as $vid) {
      $synonyms = _glossary_get_synonyms($vid);

      // Get all glossary terms and attach synonyms.
      // Omit terms without a description. those are usually container terms.
      $result = db_query(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT t.tid, t.name, t.description, t.language, COUNT(tn.nid) as nodes FROM {term_data} t LEFT JOIN {term_node} tn USING(tid) WHERE t.vid=%d GROUP BY t.tid, t.name, t.description ORDER BY LENGTH(t.name) DESC", 't', 'tid'), $vid, i18n_get_lang());
      while ($term = db_fetch_object($result)) {
        if ($term->nodes) {
          // If there were any nodes attached, we need to see if they were unpublished.
          $unpubs = db_result(db_query(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT COUNT(n.nid) FROM {term_node} tn JOIN {node} n USING (nid) WHERE tn.tid=%d AND n.status=0"), $term->tid));
          $term->nodes -= $unpubs;
        }
        if ($term->description || $show_all) {
          $term->synonyms = $synonyms[$term->tid];
          $term->synonyms[] = filter_xss($term->name);
          $term->vid = $vid;
		  if($term->language == i18n_get_lang()) {
			$terms[] = $term;
		  }
        }
        if ($taxonomy_image_enabled) {
          $term->image = taxonomy_image_display($term->tid);
        }
        else {
          $term->image = NULL;
        }
      }
    }
  }
	

  return $terms;
}

Slight Variation to handle large sets of terms more effectivley.
Similar to the solution above but only loads the language you currently have selected as opposed to all terms for all languages.

function _glossary_get_terms($format) {
static $terms = FALSE;
global $language;
$show_all = variable_get('glossary_allow_no_description', FALSE);
$taxonomy_image_enabled = module_exists('taxonomy_image');

if ($terms === FALSE) {
$terms = $synonyms = array();
$vids = variable_get("glossary_vids_$format", 0);

foreach ($vids as $vid) {
$synonyms = _glossary_get_synonyms($vid);

// Get all glossary terms and attach synonyms.
// Omit terms without a description. those are usually container terms.

$result = db_query(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT t.tid, t.name, t.description, COUNT(tn.nid) as nodes FROM {term_data} t LEFT JOIN {term_node} tn USING(tid) WHERE t.vid=%d and t.language = '%s' GROUP BY t.tid, t.name, t.description ORDER BY LENGTH(t.name) DESC", 't', 'tid'), array($vid,$language->language));
while ($term = db_fetch_object($result)) {
if ($term->nodes) {
// If there were any nodes attached, we need to see if they were unpublished.
$unpubs = db_result(db_query(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT COUNT(n.nid) FROM {term_node} tn JOIN {node} n USING (nid) WHERE tn.tid=%d AND n.status=0"), $term->tid));
$term->nodes -= $unpubs;
}
if ($term->description || $show_all) {
$term->synonyms = $synonyms[$term->tid];
$term->synonyms[] = filter_xss($term->name);
$term->vid = $vid;
$terms[] = $term;
}
if ($taxonomy_image_enabled) {
$term->image = taxonomy_image_display($term->tid);
}
else {
$term->image = NULL;
}
}
}
}

return $terms;
}

I 've tried the above solutions but don't seem to work...
I have one vocabulary "Glossary" which is set to "Per language terms. Different terms will be allowed for each language and they can be translated."
then I have taxonomy terms each defined as an English term and another one defined as a Greek term and set their translation in taxonomy.
In the English glossary page I see only the english terms but in the greek page (/el/glossary) I see both the english and the greek terms with their description!
Any advise on how to debug or any other work around?
Thanks in advance

Sorry... solution found...
