using localization (i18n) with profiles
peggys mouse - December 16, 2005 - 22:51
has anyone every tried building a multilingual site with the profile module?
i am using these two functionalities at the same time and running into problems. i want to show profile characteristics on the account creation screen and the user's personal page but the characteristics are not translated and the terms don't show up in the translation interface when searched for.
i have tried ading the "t()" function to the i18n module directly but this messes things up considerably. any ideas how i might accomplish/tackle this?
thanks for any hints.

Overriding theme functions?
Sorry if I am way off. . .but all the profile elements are run through theme_form_element. . . so you could try overriding that and throwing the $title into the translation function t(). You would also need to translate the category, which could be done by overriding theme_user_profile. . .
Use the locale module to add the necessary translations. . .

Could you help us with the code?
The original page you said needs user and password, and i want to make those multilanguage profiles available in my site too.
Could you help us with the code you use on those profiles?
Thanks in advance.
