Background:
I've built a major site using Drupal, and combining the modules i18n & domain access for a multisite-function with translatable content and user interface.
The problem at hand now, after successfully managing to get different domains to share a database, content types and content after own specifications, is that I've still got the translation of the content type names to tamper with.

I tried to avoid having to write a topic about this by searching the forums, without any luck. Now I come to you folks...

Is there an easy way to translate content type names using the i18n module?
If not, I'll settle for a more uneasy way too..getting desperate here.

The goal is to successfully be able to change languages "on the fly", and then create for example: a page in English or a sida in Swedish with the content created still under the same content type. If it makes any sense..

I'm using Drupal 6.x with the latest modules.

Thank you in advance
Nico.

Im no expert but spent the last few days delving into the translations realm of drupal.

I have seen this module mentioned several times for similar uses.. maybe it will help:

Sorry for not replying earlier..the module you suggested worked fine for some of my unstranslated strings! Actually it worked perfect, but I still can't translate the content type names.

Seems as if these strings aren't passed trough the t() as needed by the stringoverrides module to work.

As a conclusion, the main problem of translating content type names themself aren't solved, but thanks anyway. Very helpful for other translating needs.
