Hello,

I am evaluating drupal to create an e-commerce web site, and have experimented with e-commerce and ubercart. Both have strengths and weaknesses, but I have found a common weakness that must also happen for other sites.

When using the multilingual infrastructure, drupal creates duplicate nodes to hold the different translations. This is fine and works very well, until I have fields in the nodes that must remain syncronized between the different languages. In my case, these are prices, weight,... all "non textual" products properties.

I'm sure this has been a problem for other types of websites, as soon as some fields in nodes are not textual, they do not need to be translated, and become a problem when they have to be updated because they can become out of sync.

Has anyone a solution or any pointer to a solution to this problem ?

Thanks,
