AW: [opencms-dev] menu in different languages

Hi Marek,

you are right. This is not very nice. A possible solution could be the
enhancement of the create page/folder dialog. When creating a folder/file
within a folder which has siblings a dialog should pop up asking "Do you
want to create a sibling in the sibling folders?".
But I think this is a feature for a future release.
Or if you really need it and you are going to enhance the multilanguage
support of OpenCms like this, you could contribute it to the community.

This would be great.

Regards Kai

  Hello Kai

  I have allready been trying what you have written. The problem is that if
I copy the folder test_de by checking the radio button at "Copy no resource,
just create siblings of all resources in the folder " to folder test_en and
then create in folder test_de a new file e.g. cars.html, this file is not
visible in folder test_en! It is not visible in folder test_en neither as an
ordinary file nor as sibling. So each time I will create a file in first
folder I will have to create a sibling to this file in the second folder.
And each time I will move or rename a folder inside test_en I will have do
it again in test_de - which is horrible solution!

  Regards
  Marek

    Hi Marek,

     ... A very top menu (like startseite, ... suche) and a very bottom menu
(like Barrierefrei, Impressum) is in German, but the left navigation menu
and the top navigation menu is still in English!
    ... Theses menues are not multilanguage. Only the two navigation items
in the menu under "Templateone Demo Pages > Multilanguage Demo" are
multilanguage.

    ... The problem is that I cannot make a sibling to a folder!...
    Of course you can. Just create a folder (test_de), add it to navigation,
add the property value "de" to the locale property and create a page in this
folder.
    Now copy the folder by checking the radio button at " Copy no resource,
just create siblings of all resources in the folder "  to  test_en.
    In the copied folder change the locale property to "en". That's it!
     (Well, theoretically I can make a sibling to a folder but in fact
opencms creates a copy of the folder, which is not very elegant).
    That is kind of true. Actually it is not copy but a link (or sibling).
    Unfortunately I don't know an other solution to create a multilingual
website in OpenCms. And as the demo was made like that I assume, that there
is no other.

    Has anyone else found an other solution? I would be very interested in
that.

        Hi Marek,

        just change the Navtext for each language siblings. Have a look at
the language demo of Beta 1.

        Mit freundlichen Grüßen

          Hello

          I know that I can create many language versions for pages (English
and German version by default). How can I make OpenCms to display menu in
German when I select German version of a page, and in English after I select
English version of the page?

          Regards,
          Marek
