Multilangual sites with Kotti
Project description
Multilingual Sites with Kotti.
Kotti’s data model includes a language attribute on the Content class, from which all content types inherit. However, this attribute is neither exposed by Kotti’s UI, nor used in any other way. kotti_multilingual provides a generic approach to build multilingual sites.
Work in Progress
kotti_multilingual is still in an early stage of development. It is neither feature complete nor can be considered API stable. Things will change!
Features
The package contains a single content type LanguageSection which is supposed to be the container of all content in a specific language. All content that is created in (or moved into) such a subtree will be automatically tagged with the language of the section. This is done by subscribing to Kotti’s ObjectInsert and ObjectUpdate events.
You can place LanguageSection instances wherever you want in your content tree, but it is considered best practice to have a tree structure like this:
- / Document language neutral - /en LanguageSection English - /de LanguageSection German - /nl LanguageSection Dutch - /images Document language neutral
Setup
To activate the kotti_multilingual add-on in your Kotti site, you need to add an entry to the kotti.configurators setting in your Paste Deploy config. If you don’t have a kotti.configurators option, add one. The added entry should look like this:
kotti.configurators = kotti_multilingual.kotti_configure
Changelog
0.1a2 - 2013-05-07
Removed a lot of code that’s now replaced by Kotti’s INavigationRoot / TemplateAPI.navigation_root. This greatly simplifies the setup of kotti_multilingua.
Depend on Kotti>=0.9a3dev (needed for the above).
0.1a1 - 2013-05-06
Initial release.
