Multilingual comments
thekayra - October 17, 2009 - 18:43
I have been looking around for a couple of days and I have not been able to find a solution to my surprise.
Is there any way to enable multi language support for the comments? I would like my users to be able to select the language of the comment that they are putting in.
I do not want to use NodeComment module only for that. Also unfortunately, the module development/support is not really active and the current beta version also does not provide this possibility.
If there is not such possibility, could you at least show me the correct/best way of achieving this if I have to code it myself?
TIA,
Kayra.

Hello
You can't use multilanguage with comments.
Node comments module is not a solution, not maintain. multilanguage doesn't work with comment node type.
The solution is to create your own comment node type with multilanguage enable and using comments workflow for it.
I'm using View and Viewfield to display them on nodes.
Maybe one day, Drupal Comments system will be multilanguage.

And what do you mean by Node Comment type? Is is a content type that I should create for my comments?
