I'm working with MLE - it works fine for me. But there's a "small" thing i would like to change:

The new website should get 3 languages: english, netherlands and german.
At the moment i have to type in "Title" and "Menu Text" on all three Languages.
But in the website "Title" and "Menu Text" is the same in all languages.

Is there any chance to change something so that i only have dto put those things in
for the primary language and the two others will have it automaticly?

Sorry for my "broken" english ;-)

You do not provide a lot of informations.
You have latest MLE?
I suppose that admin works well but you can editing that pages and take your modify?
Have you checked Force Default Language when language is not ready?

Hi Alby,

yes, i've just installed MLE yesterday, so it seems to be the latest version.
I checkd "Force initial DEFAULT_LANG" and "Show from Default_Lang if ...".
I also use "cataloger" in MLE-version and the hematec patch.

Everything is fine. It's no problem to add new pages and modify them.
At the top of edtiting-page there's the drop-down with my three languages.
I can switch over to the other languages and i can edit the custom fields
i've put in in "cataloger" - good so far.

But in my website-project i have some field which are the same in all three
languages (such as "price"), so i wonder if theres a chance to fill them only in
one language an they will automaticly put in the ohter laguages fields.

Also i have to fill in the field "menu-text" at the top of the editing page for
all three languages - but i only have one word for all the languages (like the
product name which is always the same). Same for the page-title.

Hope i could make it a bit clearer ;-)

Thanks for your great work with MLE and with you answers here at the forum.

Uncheck "Show from Default_Lang if ..."
In this way to see which pages are ready only
Personal properties in Cataloger are different for each languages (I think that is same of hematec but look my patch here)

-> i will leave it checked because that solves the first part of my problem:
"Page Title" and "Menu Text" are now the same in all languages still i've
only filled them in the first language.

I already added your patch so i can work with personal properties for
each language.

It would be great if there also all properties get the content from the
first language after i put someting in the first one (same as described
above)

kind regards

Stefan
