User Guide | Adding a New Item for Multi-Linguial Sites

Hi,

Here is a guide I recently wrote for a client to show them how to update and translate items in FLEXIcontent.

www.iamrobert.com/flexicontent/Add-a-New-Item.pdf - sorry can't upload .pdfs to forum.

I am using the default Joomla multilingual settings. My admin template - I have also customized a little bit.

Let me know if its helpful.

interesting ! thanks for sharing !

Hi,
Why are you copying the article and do not use translate? If you use translated the articles are associated together as a translation group automatically which is especially helpful using languages like Chinese or Japanese!

same remarque !

Hi Rooney,

My setup is as follows:
1. About (English) Category
2. 關於我們 (Chinese) category

Because when I use the translate button to copy an article - the item still remains in the same category (about). I need it moved to the Chinese Category (關於我們).

See example when using translate:
[attachment=1:35n9e8io]<!-- ia1 -->1.png<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:35n9e8io]


Here are my settings:
[attachment=2:35n9e8io]<!-- ia2 -->2.png<!-- ia2 -->[/attachment:35n9e8io]

I think you are also right, as I also missed a step which is I need to link the articles - which is a step I missed in my instructions.
