Description
I'm unable to translate vocabulary names. is this feature implemented ?
#1
Same problem!
i18n 6.x-1.2
drupal 6.14
#2
The same problem. Cannot translate vocabulary names.
i18n 6.x-1.2
drupal 6.14
#3
i work with i18n 6.x-1.1 and there vocabulary names can be translated so i suppose it should work in 6.x-1.2. (maybe a bug?)
make sure to enable 'Taxonomy translation' module
translation can be done in ' /admin/build/translate/search ' -> select taxonomy.
or you can use the translation table module at http://drupal.org/project/translation_table
#4
Actually i can translate vocab names there, but the problem is the translation does not appear in view and i still see the original name
#5
does this has something to do with #64004: Integration of i18n and views.module = fix translatablity of views?
from i18n's handbook page:

@#5 nevertheless that issue was closed stating:
so probably this should be an ongoing issue by itself
#7
Thanks for participating @arhak,
No , i don't think it's related to that issue, this one is only about vocabulary names in node display. I tested it on a fresh drupal installation and translated vocabulary names but didn't see any change node's display.
I couldn't locate the code responsible to displaying vocab names simply by reviewing the source code , perhaps i need to check it more closely.
#8
reviewing the code (didn't debug it)
-->
i18ntaxonomy_form_alter(defaultcase)-->
i18ntaxonomy_node_form(if ($vid == 'tags') {...} elseif (is_numeric($vid) && i18ntaxonomy_vocabulary($vid) == I18N_TAXONOMY_LOCALIZE) {...})-->
i18ntaxonomy_vocabulary_form(return _i18ntaxonomy_term_select(check_plain(tt("taxonomy:vocabulary:$vid:name", $vocabulary->name)), ...);)#9
@#8 now, that seems to be only for <select> widget
when it is free tagging I don't see vocabulary name translated
<?phpfunction i18ntaxonomy_node_form(&$form) {
...
if ($vid == 'tags') {
// Special treatment for tags, add some help texts
foreach (element_children($form['taxonomy']['tags']) as $vid) {
if (i18ntaxonomy_vocabulary($vid) == I18N_TAXONOMY_LOCALIZE) {
$form['taxonomy']['tags'][$vid]['#description'] .= ' '. t('This is a localizable vocabulary, so only terms in %language are allowed here.', array('%language' => language_default('name')));
}
}
}
...
?>
am I missing something?

I assume this also depends on which translation option is used:
- none
- localise (I18N_TAXONOMY_LOCALIZE) - localizable vocabulary
- per language (I18N_TAXONOMY_TRANSLATE) - fully multilingual vocabulary
- set "language to vocabulary" (I18N_TAXONOMY_LANGUAGE) - fixed language vocabulary
For option "set language to vocabulary" the translation issue might not be relevant, strictly speaking, as there is no coordinated translation - just different language taxonomy sets, switching according to assigned languages. For option "localise", I can't really say, since I'm not localising.
Option "per language" should be fully multilingual (I'm using this one). In order to be able to assign the different language terms' translations to each other, the vocabulary language should _not_ be defined (at least, this is how I understand it). For this setting, the string translations made for vocabulary name and help text do not appear in create/view/edit pages when the language is switched. This for both standard (page/story) and contrib module content.
Shouldn't the code relate in one or another way to...
taxonomy:vocabulary:$vid:nametaxonomy:vocabulary:$vid:help
There are some instances in i18ntaxonomy.module. But this is as far as I get on my own (I don't know how to code php).
By the way, others are experiencing this issue as well: [#313268] (first three comments Feb-April 2009 [not resolved]).

i18n taxonomy synchronization was quite incomplete few month ago, i opened #605600: Taxonomy syncronization issues in October to address all this issues, fortunately Jose was also interested and he fixed the issues by re-factoring the code. It's looks fine to me now, the only issue remains as long as i know is vocabulary names' translation.
@arhak
I think that code is for fixing vocab translation in node edit , not node view. And you're right it's not complete, The patch proposed here #494576: Translate tags vocablary name on node form? had a bug that i mentioned here http://drupal.org/node/494576#comment-2245840 and fixed here http://drupal.org/node/494576#comment-2254962, but it appears that the latest patch is not committed, so thanks for mentioning it i set that issue back to needs review.
Correcting my own comment #7, i think it might be related to #64004: Integration of i18n and views.module = fix translatablity of views , going to try the patches there and see if they fix this issues.
Thanks @arhak

Guys, please test this with i18ntaxonomy 1.2.
Basically code in this patch translates the vocabulary name and help string if translation mode is set to "Per language term".
If you want to apply this to 1.3, change tt() function to i18nstrings() as code in 1.3 was refactored.
#16
who can talk about different use case of different mode of taxonomy translation ?
I found that, per language terms mode, the translation term will have different term id.
Is there any SEO issue ?
