I'm just working on a multilingual site. It appears very powerful to me, however it's a pity this feature is so poorly documented.

Nice site, nice example

The documentation is my problem in the moment.

How you handle the translationwork, do you seperate the languages totally or can you switch between the languages easily?

In other words can you publish one text (eg english) for all languages or you need to switch to the next language(eg french) and edit the article again?

I am thinking about news and if it possible to create one article for all languages?

Thanks

Is there a solution about browser recognition or geotargeting, I cant't find it in the forum

Thanks Rob

Articles that aren't translated remain in the default language for all other languages.

Hi Rob,

Geotargeting with help of Sörens:

Hi Rob,

basically you have to create a separate siteacces in the "settings/siteacess" directory like "plain", "plain-fr", "plain-eng". Then you must edit the site.iniappned.php files of these separate siteaccess and match the access url to the siteaccess of each language

The most useful documentation by far is http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/configuration/configuration/language_and_charset/how_to_setup_a_multilingual_site

I was able to follow that and now have a site in 4 languages.

However, I'm stuck in trying to add a language menubar. Since the node translation information is only available at the view template level, I can't access it from within pagelayout.tpl, which is where I want to display it.

How have you guys got around this? Obviously, I could always display language flags even if a translation isn't available, but that isn't ideal.

To reply to myself...

You need to use the fetch template function to retrieve the node details at the pagelayout level. I use subdomains to determine the different languages.

		{* Code to show list of translations *}
{let languages=hash('eng-GB',concat('<img class="flag" alt="English" src=',"en.gif"|ezimage,'/>'), 'esl-ES',concat('<img class="flag" alt="Spanish" src=',"es.gif"|ezimage,'/>'), 'fre-FR',concat('<img class="flag" alt="French" src=',"fr.gif"|ezimage,'/>'), 'ger-DE',concat('<img class="flag" alt="German" src=',"de.gif"|ezimage,'/>'))
  let lang_sub=hash('eng-GB','www','esl-ES','es','fre-FR','fr','ger-DE','de')
  let domain='.gv2006.org.uk.local/'

  thisnode=fetch(content, node, hash(node_id, $module_result.node_id)) }

    {section show=$thisnode.object.current.translation_list|count|gt(0)}
	    {section var=translation loop=$thisnode.object.current.translation_list}
                <a href={concat('http://',$lang_sub[$translation.language_code],$domain,$module_result.content_info.url_alias,'/(language)/',$translation.language_code)}>{$languages[$translation.language_code]}</a> 
            {/section}
    {/section}
{/let}
