   tabbed interface for translation

   When you change your original a little bit and you have to change that for say 4 languages then you have a lot of navigating to do to accomplish that.

   The idea is to choose an original article in the translations overview and have the different languages on tabs. So you can switch fast from one language to another while keeping the article open. You can easily change little things in an article. When you press save. Joom!Fish will notice in which language there is some content and will save those as translations. To make it easy: JoomFish won't check for changed content, but assigns the same date to all translations of that article. (PS article is an example of content element)

   If you have a lot of languages you could have some arrows on tabs, so that by default you see 10 tabs and then an arrow to the next (or next 10 tabs)

   Status: started

   I'm sorry it will not get in 2.1 as it is a bit more complicated as I thought. We will release 2.1 in March 2010 and then this feature is scheduled for 2.2. But we don't want to postpone 2.1 any further.

   allows to flip original and translation

   When I edit an article in the Joomla article manager however this article is not written in my default language I would like to flip this "original" with the translation. Article in Joomla becomes translation lang A -> translation lang Def becomes Article in Jooomla

   Select individual translations to be copied

   Automatically overwriting all articles of a language is very usefull. But when you have translated a few articles, this feature becomes impossible.

   Automatically overwriting all articles of a language is very usefull. But when you have translated a few articles, this feature becomes impossible. If you don't want to destroy the work already done, you have to manually copy+overwrite al the remaining articles. This is a PITA. So I would like to exclude individual articles from being overwritten, while all others can still be copied+overwritten automatically.

   Translation acknowledges language parameters

   At the moment Joom!Fish assumes that the original content is written in 1 language (default language). This isn't true if you have users from other languages adding articles.

   At the moment Joom!Fish assumes that the original content is written in 1 language (default language). This isn't true if you have users from other languages adding articles.

   I would like that you could set a default language, and that a user could set per article in which language it's written if it's not in the default language (by using the Joomla! language parameter i.e.) The consquence is that when that article is displayed in the default language, then the message 'no translation available' will be visible (or whatever the admin has set there).

   This can also continue to work with the Content Table Localisation plugin (silver plugin) - so that in the default language that particular article will be hidden if there's no translation.

   Status: planned

   Ok I allowed to change the title slightly.

   When an article (actually only articles do have this parameter yet) has set a specific language the Content Localization Plugin will make sure that this article is only displayed in this language. Additionally we will allow that you manipulate this "original" using the standard frontend editing.

   The only thing missing is a way to translate the article into a different language from the frontend - thinking about an idea ...

   Anchors when using Search Engine Friendly URLs

   The problem is when I have an anchor link

   If I'm at
   http://site/lang/Item
   And I click an anchor link, I'm redirected to
   http://site/Item#anchor

   Lang is gone and the page is reloaded!

   An automatic translator plugin will be useful for :
   - one clic translation proposal in the Joomfish interface ( first help for specific vocabulary).
   - automatic translation for unmanaged languages ( SEO purpose )

   Nota : For a real usage of an automatic translation, the improvement and tracking, I thinks that a translator fied will be usefull. A wait to research and select translations writted by Google, Altavista or a real translator. Or perhaps a notation system about the quality of the translation ... the discussion is open ...

   upgrade with one button to new version

   I just upgraded / updated JoomlaPack with a built in button and I love it! I assume they used 'install from URL', and I think Joom!Fish could do something alike. They also gave me the warning 'update available or something like that'.

   I envision it as the following: you press the button upgrade, then you get a screen asking 'Did you back up?' with the buttons no & yes and if you press 'yes' then Joom!Fish upgrades.

   What do you think?

   link two existing articles and define them as translation

   The idea is that a second article might have already be written and this is the existing translation for an other article.

   Now the feature would be to select both articles and link them together so that Joom!Fish knows that they belong together and are translations in specific languages.

   My apologies if this is weird or out of focus.

    is able to trnslate virtuemart product type parameters

    The content elements provided for virtuemart are a great helper but there is no option to translate product type parameters which is a shame. I have come across some attepts by other users but they were all incomplete and, in a word, inefficient.

    TO:
    <field type="text" name="link" maxlength="300" translate="1" posthandler="saveUrlParams">Link</field>

    Summary:
    Change the type="readonlytext" to type="text"
    and Insert maxlength="300" if you have a big URL.

    Working for me.

    Split certain settings into advanced and simple

    Imagine that you have the power to change everything while translating an item? This could be a very powerful feature, while at the same time could be useless and confusing for a lot of people. Therefore some minor things should go to the so called advanced interface.

    Save and translate next untranslated item

    It should be possible to stick the original content together with the default language translation so that you don't have to copy the original content to the default translation entry. On creation of a new article it is possible to set the content language in the advanced parameters. If you set this option to a specific language it should be sticked with the corresponding Joom!Fish translation (maybe optional). With this feature it would be less work to do because you don't have to copy a whole article to the default translation.
