I don't think you can really say that for them it is not important. Multilingual sites (even for bespoke websites) are a nightmare to do on the same domain, without using PHP code to save sessions etc. Hence why most companies tend to have a separate domain for that country. @Meddysong Not a bad though - although for a fully multi-lingual site the directory structure would also need to be renamed.

Yep, that would be ideal. But since it's not possible to do that, then the fallback would be to have a translatable field for content (just as the page has already for its title). What's the point of a language-specific name for a page if the content can only be monolingual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjell Iver Johansen Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Would'nt it be possible to have those members that want to read a second language (ie Spanish) in a secondary group - and then display only Spanish articles to members in that secondary group - and also at the same time give them all the other languagesettings for that specific language?

The problem with that would be people having to request a new language, rather than it being something they could select themselves. My personal approach would be to have two different message boards as it seems like such a hassle to try to manage separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it’s possible, but what about guests? Having articles accessible to everyone is the normal thing to do and can actually be quite important to attract new members. But you can’t ask them to create an account first just to access the right articles. 1 hour ago, modman said: for them this is not important... IPS makes software for it’s users. Everything gets important as long as it’s important enough for a significant number of IPS clients. Communities with translatable content throughout the suite isn’t something that everyone wants, let alone needs. Heck, not even the world’s most-used CMS WordPress has this multi-language use built into the core software. The IPS 4.x framework made improvements regarding multi-language use. Maybe future versions can improve on that. (I would certainly like that.) Just make a new post in the feedback forum and describe how you envision it to work. Complaining alone doesn’t help much, nor suggesting that it’s supposedly important but “they” just don’t want to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is solveable. I give my members special groupaccess with commerce - a part of the core product - so they decide their group that way and I have income. I don't know if that's a solution with the languageproblem, but for me the article system as it is is OK enough.. 38 minutes ago, modman said: whatdo you think @lindy and @mark s ? If mentions don't work for you (?)- try to clear cache (Ctrl-F5.) I was disappointed with 4.0 when it came out - but I'm very happy with most of it now. The missing VNC is still something my members are asking about. Anyway - we all get used to this new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiwa Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 In all honesty, it's easier to let browsers these days handle translations for you. How many people are going to create an article and translate that article into a handful of languages, based on whichever other language packs they have installed? That still doesn't help you with the 6,495 the languages out there. It's best to leave the article in your default language and let the browser do the heavy lifting for you.

We run up against this issue in our community. We have a special custom-made translate button for our users to read an article in their language, based on their country of registration. But your assumption that browsers can always serve you well in handling translations depends on the language. As an admin, I curate a lot of media articles, many of which are in a foreign language. The english browser translation works well for Polish, for Dutch, for Hungarian, for Slovak, as examples. The english translation of German, Italian, and some other languages is horrible.

Far more realistic is that somebody like me, who has taken the time to translate a language pack and have the site headings, descriptions, categories, menu items etc in the second language might just want to make sure that content in certain site infrastructure is visible in that second language too.

Aiwa Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 The point being you're only hitting maybe a handful of languages when browser plugins will hit them all for you with no effort on your part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meddysong Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Which is extraneous to the argument started in this thread. The source of complaint about multilingual functionality is that IPS doesn't offer a method for those of us who want to fully target an additional language. We can use translatable fields so that the menu items, descriptions, headings etc display in the second language, but that's only half the job when the content is still in the first language. I don't particularly care about giving my users the option of typing everything in two languages, which would be overkill in my opinion. It's the admin that requires it for parts of the infrastructure. Picture the IPS site, if it catered to two language groups: You could switch the menu items etc, but the text on display would still be in English. There's clearly room for improvement.

ipbfuck Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 sometime im too disappointed! i've more bug opened, some of this report as fixed (eg, langstring), instead bug still persist. bug also in blog, bug in homepagetitle, bug in editor abbr. tag (opened just now), bug in tasks sitemap, and maybe other I cannot more remember! so, two support request opened, and some bug opened (some of this are old). ipb can bee a good product, but atm contain a lot of bug and seems to be more at every upgrade! Pay for this and renew this can be sadness. I admin some WordPress blogs and I cannot found a bug from "I don't remember time". And... Is free! anyway, i really appreciate some member staff and time for try to resolve my issue (other member staff resolve with:isn't a bug, ask to host, is an your problem, closed, fixed... and bug, instead, is present and usually, is caused by latest ipb release). cause of this, I'm still undecided to renew my license (expire in some day). but, sadly, seems to not exist a convert from ip.pages to WordPress, then I cannot migrate. ... I really hope ipb, sweetly, can change something and resolve this. ps: Sorry for my poor English. I hope can be understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
