Hi!

We have for example "language menu", meaning flags on the right side
of our site and there is coding in this way:

{{ local }}





...(continue with other languages the same way)

{{ set_language name="English" }} border="0">

{{ set_language name="German" }} border="0">

{{ /local }}

Then the content area, where are the articles appearing, in our case
we have for example file home-middle.tpl where we just call article
lists. They will appear with the language that has been selected from
the flags.

For example we have like this (you probably won't need to change your
article listings):

{{ local }}
{{ set_issue number="1" }}
{{ unset_section }}
{{ list_articles length="10" constraints="type is Article
onsection is on onfrontpage is on" order="byPublishDate desc" }}
onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#DCF6D2'"
style="cursor:pointer;cursor: hand;"
onclick="document.location.href='{{ uri
options="reset_subtitle_list" }}'"

onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#ffffff'">

{{ $campsite->article->deck }}

{{ $campsite->article->name }}

{{ if $campsite->article->teaser_a != "" }}

{{ $campsite->article->teaser_a }}

{{ /if }}
{{ if $campsite->article->teaser_b != "" }}

width="8" height="5">{{ $campsite->article->teaser_a }}

{{ /if }}

{{ if $campsite->article->has_image(1) }}

{{ /if }}

{{ $campsite->article->intro-
>first_paragraph }}

{{ /list_articles }}
{{ /local }}

But I must emphasize that you do not need to change the article
listing like we have, you just need to have an article listing and it
shows what is the current language selected from the "flag menu".

I hope this somehow helps you.

We didn't get yet the site online because the old database import we
made had wrong dates but as soon as the site is online, I start
looking some nice template codes to "import" to our Campsite manual or
wiki.

Hi Pippa!

Ah, ok, on the admin side of the system... sorry, I understood
differently.

So, you have to check that you have the languages configured in
Configure -> Languages

Then you just go to an article list in which you want to translate an
article and you click the translation icon (flags of Germany and USA).
Each language also has an issue for that language (I have kept the
same name than the original language has but you can name it). But
this issue can be created if it doesn't exist yet just by following
the the procedure that appears after clicking the article translation
item in the article list.

You just basicly fill everything that is asked. It is quite logical.

Please continue with this info and if it comes anything else in your
mind, keep posting here.
