<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">So considering your example 1 you could set “locales-available” on the “it” folder to “it” and on the “de” folder to “de”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">There is no permission check, doing it that way. But the editor cannot choose another language in the editor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Hello to everyone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I’m trying to extend an old opencms based website with ade functionality.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Which is the best approach of handling multiple languages with ade, and grant translator permissions to edit just their language?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Example 1: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">/.content<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">/it<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">/de<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I create a containerpage for inside /it folder and populate it. This will create content items inside .content root folder.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I can then copy the container page to /de folder. The references to content items will remain valid.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">With this approach I can set language based permission just on the container pages, not the content items. Is it right?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Example 2:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">/it<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> .content/<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">/de<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> .content/<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">With this approach the containerpages cannot be easily copied because they reference content inside the language folder.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I don’t need extreme flexibility, but would like to understand how to set up a configuration that is easy to maintain.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Do you have any suggestions or previous experience with this topic?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
