Help On Multilingual Extention

Post by chamara »

Hi All,

My question is a very common question but I couldn't find a proper answer for my question. If the answer is already there pls forgive me.
I've installed CMSMS MLE version 1.2 and after spending one day I was able to make my site support to multilingual. In my admin panel I've option to create my pages in three languages with an flag icon showing (English, French, Dutch). My Question is how can I post a news just like creating pages in three languages. Right now I don't have this option in news module. Do I need to apply database level change to achieve this like I did for pages? I don't want to create separate category like News-en_GB, News-du_DU, News-fr_FR for news section. Also I have the same question for "Form Builder" extension. It will be great if someone can guide me how to achieve this since I'm totally new for CMSMS. I hope someone will help me on this.

Thanks
Chamara

I don't have solutions for you if you don't want create separate categories for News (I don't still try News 2.6 and extra fields) but remember that all modules are monolingual and this are workaround only.

With 2.0, new modules version I hope that will be multilingual.

A workaround for Form Builder is build a new form in each your languages and calling module with about form="form-$lang"

Hi Alby,
Thanks for your reply. Ok then since I don't have any other choice I will have to create separate categories for each news. I hope u guys will release a multilingual support version for news module very soon.

ALL THE BEST.

Thanks Chamara
