Hello,

Taxonomy terms should not be translated in node edit form because when you reedit a node (in another language than english) and save it again, the translated term is saved as the original term and when you look the node in default language (english), the term has change:

New term if "Terms are created by users when submitting posts by typing a comma separated list."

If you don't use the Tags option (Vocabulary settings), you will have: "New Tags are not authorized" and you have to put back all terms in English, or switch to English to edit node (How to explain that to users...)

My settings:

Default language: English
Translation mode: Localize terms. Terms are common for all languages, but their name and description may be localized.

With this problem, all none-english users couldn't edit nodes and contribute to the website, wich is a very big problem for a wiki-like website, very critical.

Maybe I miss something? A forgotten setting?

Nobody has this problem?

I'm not sure it is the same problem, but I think so: I'm adding terms to a taxonomy from forms in several languages. Even if setting my vocabulary to non-language-dependent, the vocab terms can only be found by the autocomplete form field search if they have been defined in the same language as the language of the autocomplete form, or if they have been defined specifically to language-neutral.

I'm trying to find a way to make that precise autocomplete search ignore the language of the vocab term... and I can't find how to do that (so maybe indeed, this is the same bug?)

Definitely not sure my problem is the same, actually, but I kind of fix it by using an autocomplete field that takes its results from a view.
