[opencms-dev] ade and multilanguage best practices

[Schliemann, Kai]

Hi Lisa,
you can set the property "locales-available" on the language folder as a comma separated list. In the editor only the in this way configured locales are shown.

So considering your example 1 you could set "locales-available" on the "it" folder to "it" and on the "de" folder to "de".

There is no permission check, doing it that way. But the editor cannot choose another language in the editor.

Betreff: [opencms-dev] ade and multilanguage best practices

Hello to everyone.
I'm trying to extend an old opencms based website with ade functionality.
Which is the best approach of handling multiple languages with ade, and grant translator permissions to edit just their language?

Example 1:
/.content
/it
/de

I create  a containerpage for inside /it folder and populate it. This will create content items inside .content root folder.
I can then copy the container page to /de folder. The references to content items will remain valid.
With this approach I can set language based permission just on the container pages, not the content items. Is it right?

Example 2:
/it
   .content/
/de
   .content/
With this approach the  containerpages cannot be easily copied because they reference content inside the language folder.
So each content editor is responsible for maintaining a completely independent version of the site. This allows to grant permission on each language but can be very hard to maintain.

I don't need extreme flexibility, but would like to understand how to set up a configuration that is easy to maintain.
Do you have any suggestions or previous experience with this topic?

Thank you,
Lisa
