Description
When using different languages, the feeds are different depending on the prefix, for example example.com/es or example.com/de
When I try to "burn" a feed, the only site feed here is the main language (with no path prefix) so it is not possible to add feeds to feedburner module in other languages.
#1
No! you can burn different feed for each language (including prefix). It's the feed burner module who don't set the good language case you use translations. It lacks a field language to feedburner module.
ex: feedburner burn correctly this 2 examples:
http://example.com/en/rss.xml
and
http://example.com/fr/rss.xml
In the "burn feed" panel you can set 2 feeds changing the language of the admin:
in english:
http://example.com/en/ + rss.xml
before change for french:
http://example.com/fr/ + rss.xml
but the second entry overwrite the first one in the sql table...
-> You can't use feedburner module case you translate your post!!!! :-(
Do you have an issue?
#2
Thank you for the reports both of you. I don't use multilingual stuff usually so I sometimes leave stuff like this out. I will get on this when I can. Since this is the first it's been reported, this isn't exactly critical either.
#3
Note: If you don't specifie a suffix language in feed to feedburner, the default language will be the default language of the site case you don't use content negociation for determinig language.
I you use english language in your site and content negociation, feedburner burn the feed in english (I think that feedburner use a user-agent with english language declared in http-header).
Anyway we have to burn each translated (localized) feed with suffix language (or alias url).
http://example.com/en/rss.xml -> http://feeds.feedburner.com/exemple-en
http://example.com/fr/rss.xml -> http://feeds.feedburner.com/exemple-fr
etc...
Thanks

Hmm, this looks like a pretty serious problem for my site.
I have 4 languages but I don't care about multiple languages for RSS.
The problem is, my links point to www.mysite.com/en/rss.xml or www.mysite.com/fr/rss.xml which means (as dmsr points out) that I have to 'burn' a new feedburner feed for each one. Major pain since I have a few feeds.
Is there any simpler way of doing this?
Thanks
#5
Dave, can we help you on this issue?
#6
Is somebody working on this? I could try patches in a test with multilingual content.
#7
Ideally you could give me more hours in a day. :/ With the code freeze and a big project that I'm finishing up I've been pretty busy. If anyone submits a patch I'll review it. Otherwise this will have to wait probably about another month until I can start going through my backlog of modules that I'll be porting to Drupal 7.
#8
Finally devoted some time to FeedBurner tonight. Will do some more tomorrow. Lots of cleanups and really bad code gone. Funny how not touching a project for a couple months will allow you to see everything you're doing wrong.

THank you for the work, I hope to see this feature implemented.
I tried to look at the code but did not find a fast solution for the multilingual feeds. I hope you may achieve a solution.
Again, thanks for this module!
