[support] Forum in a multilanguage environment

[Tom Rogie]

Hello,

In my quest to port paraglide.be to drupal I have some problems with the 
current behaviour of the forum with translated taxonomy (with i18n).

I have 2 problems in fact:

1. The 'language switcher' and 'translation' blocks translate the 
general forumlinks (*/forum) well, but not when you are on a container 
or subforum (*/forum/xx).

Example: You have a container A (forumnode 1) with a forum B (forumnode 
2) in language X. The translated taxonomy gives you container C 
(forumnode 3) and subforum D (forumnode 4) in language Y. When you are 
on the forum root (*/forum) and click the different languages, the 
forums/containers change to the right languages. That's ok.
But when you are visiting the container A (X/forum/1) or the forum B 
(X/forum/2) in language X and then click the other language Y, you get 
linked to Y/forum/1 or Y/forum/2 and not to Y/forum/3 and Y/forum/4.

2. If somebody posts a new message in a forum, lets say forum B in 
language X, it remains invisible in forum D until it gets translated to 
language Y.
I think you should be able to see all messages from forum B and D. The 
translated messages only once offcourse in the right language.

I think I could submit the first problem as a bug for the translation 
block as this behaviour only happens with forum taxonomy, not with any 
other taxonomy. The second problems might be a new feature.

Thanks for any help!
