Hi all.

I'm currently using locale and i18n modules to create a site with two languages. Everything on the site is now translated into two languages, but I can't figure out how to actually translate the taxonomy terms. Any ideas? It just doesn't work. Can anyone confirm that this even works?

Hi Thomas

Just been doing the same thing, and got it working using the following method:

Translating taxonomy terms:

1. Create the vocabulary and the terms you need in english. NOTE: do not select a language for the vocabulary, only for the terms
2. In the same vocabulary, create new terms in french
3. Now go to administer > categories > list terms for the same vocabulary
4. Click on the translation tab
5. Click new translation and select the corresponding english and french terms
6. Done.

The only downside of this is that when creating your node, the category title (not the actual terms) only appears in the one language. Maybe you can find a word that is the same in both languages...any other suggestions anyone?

Hope this helps.

In the current Drupal 5 version, you can translate the vocabulary title in admin/settings/locale using "manage strings". Just do a search for the source language vocabulary name, and provide the translation for the target language vocabulary name. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem, couldn't get the taxonomy in spanish working. the thing that fixed it was this, mentioned by incrn8:
do not select a language for the vocabulary, only for the terms

if you do select it, terms will not be displayed when you're creating content in the language other than the language selected for the whole vocabulary...
