[Plone-Users] Consistent UI language on multi-lingual site

[Mike R. <mi...@ne...>]

Hi,

I am currently building a multi-lingual Plone site using LinguaPlone.

So far during the project, the default behaviour that the edit UI 
language always reflects the content language (i.e., a French document 
is edited using a French UI) has been fine.

Now, however, I would like to allow authors to see the UI of the Edit 
screens of the site in a language other than the content (basically 
because the content will be translated by one person and input into 
Plone by another who does not understand the translated language). 
Unfortunately, I can't work out how to do this.

I understand that the Edit UI isn't modifiable separately from the main 
site UI language, so I would like to either allow:

- content authors to choose a UI language used for all content;
- failing this, force the UI to English for all logged in users.

 From what I can see, the Negotiation Schemes on portal_languages may be 
able to help with this, but I'm not sure on the options to set to get 
the effect I'd like. (e.g., going to a Spanish content item with 
?set_language=en still results in a Spanish Edit bar with "Use cookie 
for manual override" set in portal_languages).

I have also tried changing my preferred language in personalize_form, 
but when I visit a document in another language the language for that 
document is used for the UI.

Is this possible, and am I looking in completely the wrong place?

Many thanks,
Mike.
