Taxonomy, Views, Panel translation

By goody815 on 18 Dec 2009 at 19:47 UTC

I have a product catalog site built in English. The menus are built using taxonomy terms, views, and panels. I have Internationalization module installed. I then translated all the Taxonomy Terms into French. I can seem to make it work when I click the French language switcher link. I'm sure I'm overlooking something, but I've followed many of the suggestions on here without success. I'll gladly provide more detailed info if needed.

Chinabruce,

Thanks for the support. Would you mind explaining a little bit more on what i18n variables should be inserted into settings.php?

Thank you

Translating Panels

To translate Panels you may try:

1) Use Panel Nodes. They come with Panels. After enabling them in the modules page, go to create content -> panel. This will create a panel node that you can translate to multiple languages. You must take other things into consideration with this approach like what would happen if you were to set it as the default front page in one language without translating into another.

2) Use regular Panels with translatable Blocks. Create one Panel (let's say the front page), then add Blocks to it. Translate the Blocks to the second and subsequent languages. The blocks set as language 1 will only show up if language 1 is being viewed. Etc.
