Translating Content in eZ Publish
Friday 31 August 2007 6:00:00 am
When adding a new translation, you can choose an existing translation on which to base it, as was shown previously:
Language selection interface, new translation
Select the desired parameters and click the Edit button. The system will bring up the Object Edit Interface where you can enter your translated content.
The second option is to use the Edit button at the bottom of the Preview window when viewing an object. Use the dropdown list of languages and select "Another language". Clicking the Edit button will take you to a reduced form of the Language selection interface that was shown above. It will contain a list of languages in which the object does not exist and a list of available languages on which the new translation can be based. Then you can continue as described above.
The third option is to use the left tree menu and the context-sensitive pop-up menu (or alternatively the pop-up menu for your eZ Publish bookmarks). This is usually the quickest option if you have JavaScript enabled. Locate the object that you wish to edit in the tree menu on the left of the Administration Interface and click on the object's icon in order to bring up the context-sensitive pop-up menu. Access the "Edit in" sub menu and select "Another language". You will be taken to the reduced Language selection interface, and can then continue as describe above.
(JavaScript is a lightweight programming language that extends the functionality of XHTML. It is used in eZ Publish to create a more user-friendly environment. If JavaScript is disabled, the pop-up menu will not be available.)
