Any Slider that has full Multilingual functionality?

Hi there,
I'm using the Slidorian module, but it doesn't support multi-lingual websites. Only title, but you cannot translate description text or URL.
Is there any slider module that can translate everything? I can't find in EDC.

Actually, @webgift I realise now I can make the URLs multi-lingual by using Elxis format URLs instead of absolute links, but is there any way to translate the description text in Slidorion?

Just to clarify: this is when I choose 'user images' as the Source, so that the slides can be manually created.

The slidorion slider uses title and subtitle and already translates them. Which slider shows article intro/main text?

Hi datahell,
in the Slidorion module, on the parameters tab, there are four options in a dropdown for 'Source'. If you choose 'Latest Articles' or 'Category' or 'Multiple Categories' then yes, the subtitle is automatically pulled in the correct language. However, if you wish to show a custom list of slides and choose 'user images' as 'Source', then the subtitle is no longer automatic. There is a field called 'Description' which is manually entered. However, there is no way to translate this into other languages.

Hello,
I updated the Slidorion module for you. Please download the update version [1] from
EDC and update me if something went wrong. I haven't tested.

Hi webgift, thanks very much for your help! I have just updated the module. The 'description' field can now be translated. And I have saved EN and ES versions. However, on the live site, the ES translation does not appear. I have cleared all the cache, but it does not appear. The title translation works, but not the description text. If I open the module in the CMS, I can see the translations. Also, the description on the live site is truncated. There appears to be a limit of 62 characters, even though I can enter more in the module.

Hi webgift, I've figured out the limit on the 'description' - I just needed to choose again the number of characters in the parameters tab. The translation is still not appearing though for description on the front-end.

Hello,
Can you please send me PM with a valid FTP and backend access of your site as i would like
to
check this out.
The only sure is that there is no any limitation as for the language or an empathy for ES
language.

Hello,
Issue found and fixed. The module's (mod_slidorion) php file was outdated!
I updated it to be the same as released on EDC and everything is clear now!
Isn't it?
