Composite C1 - Language / Localization in Blog module


I have added a second language, French, to a Composite C1 site (System/Languages/Add Language).

It works fine for content pages when I select the language (bottom right).

However - blogs do not have this option. How can I add languages to blog posts?


Solution

  • First of all, enable localization on the Blog's data types:

    • Composite.Community.Blog.Authors
    • Composite.Community.Blog.Tags
    • Composite.Community.Blog.Entries

    For this:

    In the Data perspective:

    1. select each of the data types
    2. click Enable Localization on the tool bar
    3. and follow the wizard to finish the task

    Next, translate tags and athors:

    In the Content perspective / Website Items / Blog Settings:

    1. select data items below Authors and Tags
    2. click Translate on the toolbar to create a language copy of the item
    3. Then translate it

    Finally, translate the blog posts likewise

    1. Expand the blog page, then Blog entries, then the date folder
    2. select a blog post
    3. cick Translate on the toolbar
    4. then actually translate the post to your language
