Hello,

do you think you will provide content elemets xml files to support "falang" translation component?

Currently Joomfish is not yet compatible with joomla 3.0, while falang is.

I understand with Joomla 3.0 we can use joomla the default language management to manage translations in cobalt,

but it would be a great amount of work, as we will basically have to duplicate everything for every new language we want (category, types, custom templates if any, field values)...

while with falang it would be possible to manage translations extremely more quickly, without having to duplicate contents.

cheers,

Nic

I installed the content elements, but I don't see:

content element to translate fields values

I just see the one to translate fields labels

beside that, I'm not sure to understand how I can translate cobalt 8 records, as I don't see any content element for "records"

thank you,

Nic

To translate records you have to switch to correct language on frontend and simple edit record

ok,

I didn't get that falang had the ability to translate form frontend also, just like joomfish

and what about fields values?

Field values are translated along with record. If you mean fields values as those that you get on select you may use there keys. For example in select field

SF1

SF2

SF3

and in language overrides of Joomla language manager add this keys with translations.

Hello,

I have just read your brand new tutorial about translation (great work!)

I have one question:

you wrote that Cobal can handle both translation methods (mirror and parallel)

I'd like to know if doing the following would work:

if in the same site

I use mirror translation to translate section name, type name and fields names

while I use parallel method to translate records

would this work?

Yes and I've mentioned it down article as mixed type. Especial parallel one inside mirrored. If you switch language mode in section to records only on current language you will see completely different set of article in the same section for different language.

And you can translate all labels and text values as described in mirrored method.
