Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/5570 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/5570 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: user system Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: stefan nagtegaal Updated by: Cvbge -Status: patch (code needs review) +Status: patch (code needs work) Ok, this won't work, because roles are selected from db when put on admin/access. The only way I see to solve this (although it's still not clean) is to a) make default roles editable (so user can change the 'anonymous user' to something else), but not deletable b) make sure anon user and auth user have static id c) do not check in code for name, but for role id Need to think about it...

One of that is proper translation.. - The basic roles 'Anonymous user'/'Anonymous' & 'Authenticated user' aren't translatable on the following places (admin >> users / admin >> users >> roles / admin >> users >> permission / ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 23 Jul 2004 17:19:35 +0000 : killes@www.drop.org Changing title. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wed, 06 Oct 2004 09:53:48 +0000 : stefan nagtegaal This is still a problem.. The default roles 'Anonymous user' and 'Authenticated user' can not be translated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wed, 06 Oct 2004 12:55:38 +0000 : Axel But why this bug is critical? Drupal works on such manner long time. This bug don't prevent Drupal to work. I think priority of this bug must be set as 'normal', but not 'critical'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wed, 03 Nov 2004 18:53:46 +0000 : com2 I would say either committed to multilingual / localization or not. Calling it a feature seems to say "translation has a low priority". When that is the case, why all the trouble to localize? Jus drop localization and make life easier! All depends on the chosen concept of Drupal. If you choose Drupal to be multilingual / localized, then this is definitely is a bug. You cannot expect a non-english speaker to understand these special users. What happens when I just translate them in table /role/? Would it break Drupal? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wed, 04 May 2005 13:48:34 +0000 : schalker As I can tell, standard roles still can not be translated. Is this correct? Is there a work-around or some plan to implement this? I'd agree with the former poster com2 that this is more a bug than a feature request: I love the locale module, but I cannot see a reason why almost everything is translateable, but not the standard roles. If there is no reason for this behaviour /from a user-point-of-view/, then this is a bug, I'd say. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wed, 04 May 2005 14:05:33 +0000 : schalker Sorry, it's me again. I searched on and on to find a similar bug report, but I haven't found one. So as two people think this is a bug, I change the category of this issue back to "bug report". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 09 Aug 2005 19:40:42 +0000 : Cvbge Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/translate_default_roles.diff (1.84 KB) Patch not tested, but it's quite simple. I'd like to hear some thoughts about t()ing default roles (anonymous and authenticated user).
