Translate content

These documentation pages are no longer maintained. Please visit the new documentation site.

Many sites have the opportunity for users to show content in different languages. International sites with users in more than one country will find this helpful. eZ publish 3 has multi-lingual support. In short that means that you can publish an article in different languages depending on where your users come from.

To translate you go to the object (article) you want to translate and click the "Manage" button in the "Translations" box.

This will take you to the "Translating - object" window. Click the "Translate" button. Now you will see a different window with the text you want to translate on the right side and the "Edit" windows for your new language on the left side. Now you simply add the new language text in those windows and click "Store".

To go back to the article you just added a new language to click "Edit object". This will take you back to the "Edit Article - article name" window where you now can see your new translation in the "Translations" window.

RE: How to add another language after installation

Dear Mr. Børge Kjeldstad
if u want to add another language after all the installation is completed, just follow these steps-
1. click on Setup link-> click on Language
2. Now select Add Language.
3. now from the drop down (Translation) select the name of the country
4. Click OK

That's it......

Thanks

Re: How do you view the translations on the User site?

I also wonder how this is done... : )

How to add more languages?

When I installed eZp-3.3-3 I chose English as the default language and Norwegian as an optional language. What can I do now (after the installation is finished) to for instance add Swedish as a seccond optional language?

How do you view the translations on the User site?

I've figured out how to do the translation on the admin site, but not how to be able to switch back and forth between languages on the user site.
