active translation available for Drupal 5

Submitted by JacobSingh on August 30, 2008 - 3:25am

Warning: Code is really in alpha state, however since this module is one of the most important and overlooked ones out there in terms of i18n, I thought I should mention it on the planet if others may want to pick it up and polish what is pretty much working now. Here is the issue for the drupal-5 port.

If you don't know what Active Translation is, from the maintainer: Andrew aka drewish:

The Active Translation module is designed for internationalized sites where translated versions of content need to be displayed when available but if they're not the original, untranslated content should be displayed. If several regional versions of a language are available these will be used as substitutions.

By default Drupal's node listings show all content. So if you translate a node, both the original and translations are displayed. The Internationalization module, another contrib project, tried to improve on this on this. It gives you several options for rewriting queries to list nodes.

Keep in mind this is totally alpha code, but I thought since this is such a useful module, I should share it with everyone and encourage people to contribute to the effort.

If you want to leave me a message, please do so on the issue queue, or if you'd just like to say something nice (or nasty) do it here or on my Drupal Blog

That is absolutely wonderful news. When I get back from the Hungary I'll give it a whirl - backporting was looking possible and it was one thing that was looking absolutely essential to do. Thank you so much :-)

This is a great feature. So many blogs are showing up all across the world and the more of them that can be translated into your own language the better.
