Make Multilingual by Default - All Documents

lock999 — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 16:06:24 GMT

Hi,I need to assign multilingual aspect to all documents in the repository by default. I tried to add <aspect>cm:mlDocument</aspect> as a mandatory aspect to cm:content, but this results in an error. Is there a way to add multilingual aspect to all documents by default?Thanks

Hi,

There is a cm:mlContainer that is required for each set of related cm:mlDocument nodes. I'm not sure what functionality you require by doing this automatically. The process of Add Translation would still be needed. Quite possibly there might be some UI improvements to make the process simpler, if that is what is driving the requirement.

Regards

Hi,
We have this requirement as well.. Our end user searches specify a language by default.

Currently our editors can complete all metadata in the "Add content" wizard, except for "Make multilingual". They need to remember to "Make Multilingual" after uploading content. If they don't remember to "Make multilingual" then their content never gets found because it doesn't have a language.
