Textpattern Support Forum

Hello,

This is AMAZING, STUNNING, BREATHTAKING (if my english is sort of correct way to express my feeling about this job).
Thanks all of you, this is a tremendous step forward for all of us working in a bi or tri-lingual country.

Thank you (again, sorry, U deserve it).

Cheers.

Vince.

Wow great! And this community is amazing. Everything I can think of is already developed or in development.

It looks absolutly beautifull… I need it, I want it. I’m looking forward for your update… THX.

Is there a ETA for the release of this plugin?

All

it’s been a while since I updated the forum on the progress of the MLP Pack so I guess it’s time for a post about it.

The pack is basically done now and the functionality has expanded somewhat since the previous post with the screenshots. I have finished working on optimisations now and already have a basic demo site online on top of TxP 4.0.4 and the MLP Pack. I’ll start a thread in “Let’s See Yours, Then” (probably on Monday now) when I’ve localised the section/category/link/file/image strings.

Admin Side Features…

• Each TxP user can choose their own admin language — and switch between admin languages at will.
• Support for localisation of plugin strings via the admin interface (at last, no editing of source files!)
• Ability to search for, and edit, any TxP language string by name or by content — in any of the languages supported by the site.
  • Also allows quick location of strings with missing renditions in any language.
• Support for ‘snippets’ to simplify page/form editing and writing. Snippets are similar to the txp:text tag in that they reference localised strings from the txp_lang table. However, snippets can be used as attributes to other tags — allowing you to localise any string attribute.
• Snippets can be entered in RTL or LTR mode (JS to toggle between the two.)
• Write tab now allows title/body/excerpt and preview in RTL as well as LTR mode.
• Import/export of your plugin strings or snippets so you can upload to live sites or share with others.
• Export of TxP strings using the TxP language file format for distribution to other/devs.
• Support for articles as groups of renditions.
• Support for cloning of renditions and their translation into other languages using the existing write tab.
• Email notifications sent to translators when articles are cloned or have their author changed.
• Extra filtering of the list of renditions by language.
• No hijacking of existing fields (sections/categories/custom fields) to store language information, so you are free to use the section/categories/custom fields in your application.
• Full localisation of the following fields…
  • Category titles
  • Section titles
  • Image alt text and captions
  • Link descriptions
  • File descriptions
• Setup and Cleanup wizards.

Public side Features…

• Detection of the language the user wants to view a site in via the url or browser headers.
• URLs re-written so that browser caches know the difference between the renditions of articles in different languages.
• Automatic selection of the correct renditions of snippets in pages and forms.
• Fully functional search/commenting/feeds for each language the site supports.
• Localised (and direction adjusted) feeds.
• Localised categories, sections, file & link descriptions, image alt text & captions.
• 404 support for finding renditions that are not available in the requested language.
• A tag to list all available renditions of a given article and allow switching between them.
• Tags for accessing language codes and direction information.
• Conditional tag for testing the visitor’s language or the directionality of the language.
