    Hi,

    I would like to publish articles in Russian and Chinese.
    But in the combo-box for selecting the language for
    an article I see only 7 pre-defined languages.
    How can I add additional languages there?

    Thanks, Stm.

        Hi,
        Quick question regarding content item creation and publishing in other language than English.
        Can I not create and publish content item in either french or Hindi?
        when we create content item it gives option to select the language in which, content item would be viewble to end user.
        Let us say i want to create Content Item in  Hindi so i set the 'hi'  parameter in  CCM variable 'com.arsdigita.cms.languages'. as people has said in this forum. This populates hindi option in language drop-down in content-center.
        Now when i create content item selecting hindi from drop-down in content-center center. the content item extention is being created with .hi extention. But in real sense it is not different than english content item.

        I have checked the properties file in ccm-cms/.../com/arsdigita/cms/util/iso639full.properties , i don't understand what exactlly i need to do?
        Could anybody suggest regarding this context..

          Hi Chandra,

          I'm not shure weather I got your question right.

          During creation of a content item you select the language as you described. In order to create a really multilanguage site, you use the language tab in the authoring pane to add another language version about the same topic.

          You have to wright the content in the respective language. That's up to you.

          The *.properties files are used to determine the labels for the several input fields of the copntent-center. The language is selected automatically, depending on your browsers preferences. So, if your browser defaults to english, you get the english labels in the content center, regardless of the language you are editing the content.

          If you publish the different language versions, currently they all show up in the navigation menue.

          And there is currently no functionality to prepare a navigation tree in different languages.

          So, practically the multi language functionality in APLAWS is quite useless.

          We have created a patch, which enables a multilanguage navigation tree and which shows only those content items, which correspond to the preferred language as indicated by the browser.

          We have not committed the patch yet, because we can create and delete a non-default category language, but not edit (we just didn't find the necessary methods in core).

          You may download the patch from our development repository at
          http://ccm.barkhof.uni-bremen.de/trac/ccm

      Currently, the language selection in navigation doesn't work properly. We are preparing a (rather big) patch to correct it (including localized categories), but we may need another 3-5 weeks until finished.

      For portal pages the selection may work. If it does it should automatically select the page according to your browser configuration (preferred language).
