Translations - need by LANGUAGE + REGION (en_GB, en_US)

[rob2020]

Hi,

We have a requirement to store product descriptions under both LANGUAGE + LOCALE.

For example, the same product would have 2 different product descriptions for en_GB and en_US.

I was hoping to use the MultiLingual capabilities of Alfresco for this so that if for example a UK based user added a new product description, we could use workflow to manage having a US based user create their en_US version.

I'm stuck on this because the Multilingual support in the GUI seems to be only around language (not region as well), and I'm really struggling to find any references to this scenario on the WIKI or the forums etc.

Is it possible to support this situation with Alfresco Multilingual capabilities?

Any help much appreciated

Yes ml text fields should be able to differentiate between American and British.    Just make sure your description property is "ml text" rather than text.

thanks for that info.

I should probably clarify.  What I actually need to do is store the basic content (not doc properties) in different language + region combinations.

The web gui only seems to allow multilingual documents based on language (even though it may be attaching region as well behind the scenes.. in node browser it looks like it's storing content as en_US).

When I go through the path of

Make multilingual. It first of all gives a drop down list to Select Language. So I would need a modified list here. I tried modifying content-filter-lang.xml and thought that was working.

But then I went to "Add Translation" to see if I could put in "en_CA" (which I had added to content-filter-lang.xml) and the list on this screen is language only.

I guess this is a bit hard to follow, but if that does make any sense… can I get multilingual doc content to includes LANGUAGE+REGION variants?

Cheers.  Rob.
