limited multilingual features

[wbread]

The site is installed with the main language is English. I added to the site Russian. Content is still being written in English only. Russian content only as a translation of the existing one. In the old version, they were independent, so why now.

Can I add only the Russian menu and content?

[ahmet]

Really,
How can we add multilanguage??
i couldnt either..

when I create a translation, seo title is old, and is full delirium
category names are the same, or are written in plain English, but the article ....

It is vitally important to choose the main language at the outset - when you first install Elxis - because if you want to change it later on, you will have problems. My initial choice was English (because Turkish translation was not available then). When I added Turkish later, I chose it as the main language and had a small chaos.

Today, in my web site (www.dildersleri.gen.tr), both the content and the interface (links, directives, etc.) are in both English and Turkish and I face no problem at all. As far as creating content is concerned, Turkish can be a problem language because of certain letters, but UTF8 coding eliminates this risk. I do not know whether the "delirium" problem stems from the Russian language itself.

how do you do that?
gen.tr/hexe/issue09/paragraph-level-questions/paragraph-completion/paragraph-completion-test01.html
gen.tr/en/hexe/issue09/paragraph-level-questions/irrelevant-sentence/irrelevant-sentence-test01.html

seo header was in Turkish, after the change, it appears it in both languages ​​equally.

all content is the same, all test blocks a full fake
show me a working example that two different languages ​​different seo, like thise
gen.tr/hexe/issue09/paragraph-level-questions/paragraph-completion/paragraph-completion-test01.html
gen.tr/en/hexe/issue09/paragraph-level-questions/irrelevant-sentence/irrelevant-sentence-test01.html

Hi guys,

You go to settings (general tab) then click on the language that you want to use.
Fill in the translations in the general tab for e.g. English in Russian and click on the diskette to save.

After that when you create a new article, assuming that you have selected 2 languages English and Russian, you type in the titles in the first language then click apply.  Then go to the article body, enter default language content, click apply, select 2nd language in article body, click apply and publish.

I am not entirely sure that the apply has to be clicked for every action but I do know that this works.

title and article body, with meta - All fine, problem with SEO Title - it's only 1! for all language

[xmanhattan]

Yes, you are right.  I assume that datahell and webgift are aware of this and hopefully it will be corrected in 4.1.

thanks,
i hope

Hi guys, after reading the Elxis docs regarding languages, I think that you should be aware of the following line.

The importance of the default language

https://www.elxis.net/docs/using-elxis/administration/language-multilingual-content.html

https://www.elxis.net/docs/using-elxis/administration/language-multilingual-content.html

If multilingualism is enabled in Elxis configuration then after the element is first saved, the option to add translations to it is activated.

https://www.elxis.net/docs/using-elxis/getting-started/all-about-articles.html

In other words, you will have to set up another test site and enter the language that you want to use as default first rather than English to see what happens.

I don't know if you can export what work you have already done, and create a new database using only the foreign language items first.
Datahell and Webgift will have to advise on this.

nothing new I have not heard
default language Turkish, to it was then added Russian.
The statue was created originally in Turkish, then added a translation into Russian, but the SEO title remains in Turkish

[nikos]

This is correct. The SEO is unique and does not change by language, so independently of how many languages you have set in your site, SEO is always that one which is created in main language. 

[xmanhattan]

Nikos,

I would guess that if someone wants to have the site in 2 or more separate languages, then they might use the virtual website technique because I tried to create a separate category and content in Greek but that would not work using the language selection since my default was english.

If someone wanted to do that, then they would probably have to add some coding to the language selection that would use different routing, e.g.
if english
     content:/           default pages
else
     content:/el         gr pages

The main differences regarding languages between 2009.x and 4.0 is that there is no way to set the default in 4.0 and that the content creation cannot be done separately, e.g. separate categories and content pages that are not (flipping from a translated content pages) aligned, which does not actually have to be done due to language and content differences.

seo failed :'(
good promotion only in the primary language, additional language is necessary in case.
if someone is interested in reading it will change the language.....
