Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Milly Mikkelsen Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Is it possible to have an alternative language for a name of a club, so one in English and the other in French. My guess that its just a label as I don't see any string to change for this. aia 1

(It would be the same reason why each post made by a user could not be translated automatically.)
Marc Posted June 18 Posted June 18 This is not something possible within the platform at present unfortunately.
Milly Mikkelsen Posted June 18 Author Posted June 18 ok got it, i think the best way is just to have both languages in the same title.

We also need support for fully-multilingual content (titles, content items, etc.). We requested this a long time ago in the previous decade, but there have been no significant improvements in internationalization/localization since then, which is super sad for multilingual community owners 🥲 If IPS have any plans to improve internationalization/localization features, please let me know. I can provide highly detailed information on what is needed in our case. Edited June 18 by 13.
Randy Calvert Posted June 18 Posted June 18 (edited) This is not something in the IPB 5 alpha so far. So I would not expect it in 5.0.0 when it's eventually released. While it does not exist today, that does not mean it won't be considered later, thus Marc's "currently" comment. IPS generally does not talk about its roadmap until it's very close to finished. So I would not expect them to comment about it now or anytime really soon. They're going to be heads down focused on getting 5.0 out the door. The best suggestion for now would be to make a request in the feedback forum. Edited June 18 by Randy Calvert
Meddysong Posted June 18 Posted June 18 I don't imagine it will be coming. It wasn't possible from early in the life of IC4 because, as far as I remember, it opened up the risk of XSS attacks, and so translated content can only be created in the Admin Control Panel. Since Clubs are named on the front end, there isn't a translatable field as an option.
Marc Posted June 19 Posted June 19 We do not provide roadmaps as to what will come i the future, but I can say its not something in which is a feature for version 5.
