Hi,<br><br>Seems like a status report is in order, so people know what is in, and<br>what needs to be looked at still. There are only two weeks left until<br>code freeze, so those who think language support in Drupal 6 is
<br>important would be welcome to come out with their reviewer hats.<br><br>What is in Drupal 6 for multilanguage support:<br><br> - "locales" are replaced by "languages" (we know a lot more about<br>
languages: their native names, direction (RTL or LTR), languages<br> can be weighted, we use the new BCP 47 language codes, etc)<br><br> - language based paths and domains are supported<br><br> - automatic language detection based on browser settings is supported
<br><br> - nodes can have a language associated<br><br> - the locale tables are capable of storing translations for user<br> defined strings (BUT this is not possible yet, read on!)<br><br>The two most important things that should be done, with patches for you
<br>to review:<br><br> - translation of site settings, content types, user profile fields<br> and so on by storing translations of their string properties with<br> the locale infrastructure, enabling import/export and simple editing:
<br> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/141461">http://drupal.org/node/141461</a> (also watch this video:<br> <a href="http://hojtsy.hu/drop/dtvideo.mpeg">http://hojtsy.hu/drop/dtvideo.mpeg</a> )<br><br> - translation support for nodes by relating nodes together
<br> (and possibly their revisions): <a href="http://drupal.org/node/142280">http://drupal.org/node/142280</a><br><br>We have other smaller issues lingering, but these two are the ones we<br>can't manage without your valuable input and review! Unless we get
<br>reviews on these issues and we can manage to get a polished version of<br>these into Drupal 6, it will not be the multilanguage release many<br>people hope it to be. It would be sad to miss this opportunity for world<br>
domination.<br><br>Gabor<br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Regards,<br> Johan Forngren :: <a href="http://johan.forngren.com/">http://johan.forngren.com/</a>
