Reading this post http://groups.drupal.org/node/2781 and taking a look at the Subversion repository here : http://svn3.cvsdude.com/devseed/sandbox it seems to me that some crucial decisions about multingual support in Drupal are already taken, or am I wrong ?
The decisions will be final once code gets added to cvs on drupal.org. :p IIRC Gabor is working on I18N for Drupal as part of his thesis work.
For example, if I understand correctly, taxonomy translations will be implemented duplicating the trees, variables will be duplicated in their own table adding a language attribute.
Well, I would like to know what is, if exists, the list of features that will be implemented in Drupal 6 to achieve multilingual support, and also the technical solutions that could be adopted.
I am not aware of such a list.
For example, if the variables translation mechanism is definitive, we could think to use it soon, without working now on a different solution that could be abandoned in the next months. For taxonomy we could already port the new patches for the translation, and so on.
I'm asking this because I would like, if possible, to avoid duplicating work and to be able to prepare a migration path for the users of Localizer when multilingual support will be in the core, probably, in the next release.
You probably should contact Goba. Cheers, Gerhard
