Need help with Localization / Different Languages in 5.x

oddible - July 3, 2009 - 17:09

I have Localizer and Localization loaded for Drupal 5.x but this doesn't seem to be working the way I would expect and I need some help. Please either tell me that this is working as intended or direct me to resources which may be able to help.

I currently have a language flag showing up on the site. For each node there is a 'Translations' tab which seems to track the translations available for a node. I can put in both an English and a French translation. However, these seem to exist as completely different Node IDs (node/63 is English, node/64 is French). The problem I'm running into is that all site links that go to node/63 result in an English translation. I was hoping that once the user had selected French as their language that they it would then give them the French version of that node. When they clicked on a link that went to node/63 it would notice that French was their selected language, notice that node/63 had a French translation and redirect to node/64. This is not the case. I am now having to go through my entire site and update all links to point to the correct translation version.

Is this correct? Is there a better way?

The thing that leads me to believe something is wrong here is that the menus work fine. I have both the English and the French menu linking to node/2 when I edit the menu. When I click to French, the menu automatically updates to show node/68.

Help!

Also need help setting up this module

Hi
Sorry I dont have an answer to your problem, but rather a question.
I am trying to get this module to work for me, however am getting page not found when I click either of the new languages I have installed. What am I doing wrong ?

I have installed the module as described above and when am able to change strings and content, however when i click on one of the languages o the language block, it takes me to Page not Found, and the link is /en or whatever other language I choose.
Does the module not create the /en extension automatically.
Also if I try go through Local Content Translation and try and change the translation (i.e. create) it takes me to en/node/22/edit and gives me a page not found?

Any help much appreciated.

Mike
