In case it helps anyone, this is the solution I've come up with.
Please keep in mind that this is my own personal solution and may
conflict with active development by the core team.
On your edit/add views you must use plain html instead of the form
helper, because it won't generate data[Model][Field][locale] names no
matter what you try. IMHO, this is something to look into, because it
also adds difficulties dealing with file input arrays and the like.
Anyhow, the input fields should look like:
<input type="text" name="data[Model][Field][locale]"
id="ModelFieldLocale" />
I've rewritten the afterSave() function of TranslateBehaviour like
follows to allow working with the new field arrays. This should
probably better be pasted somewhere else, feel free to do so if you
feel like it.
function afterSave(&$model, $created) {
$locale = $this->_getLocale($model);
if (empty($locale) || is_array($locale) || empty($this-
>runtime[$model->name]['beforeSave'])) {
return true;
}
$tempData = $this->runtime[$model->name]['beforeSave'];
unset($this->runtime[$model->name]['beforeSave']);
$conditions = array('model' => $model->name,
'row_id' => $model->id);
if ($created) {
foreach ($tempData as $field => $value) {
if (!is_array($value)) {
$value = array($locale=>$value);
}
foreach ($value as $lang=>$content) {
$this->_model->Content->create();
$this->_model->Content->save(array('I18nContent' =>
array('content'=>$content)));
$this->_model->create();
$this->_model->save(array('I18nModel' =>
am($conditions,
array(
'locale'
=> $lang,
'i18n_content_id' => $this->_model->Content->getInsertID(),
'field' =>
$field))));
}
}
} else {
$this->_model->recursive = -1;
$translations = $this->_model->findAll($conditions,
array('field',
'i18n_content_id', 'locale'));
$values = Set::extract($translations, '{n}.I18nModel');
foreach ($values as $translation) {
$field = $translation['field'];
if (array_key_exists($field, $tempData)) {
if (!is_array($tempData[$field])) {
$tempData[$field] =
array($locale=>$tempData[$field]);
}
if (array_key_exists($translation['locale'],
$tempData[$field])) {
$this->_model->Content->create();
$this->_model->Content->save(array('I18nContent' =>
array(
'id'=>
$translation['i18n_content_id'],
'content'=>
$tempData[$field][$translation['locale']])));
}
}
}
}
There is sure plenty of room for improvement, but it works for me.
I'm still trying to figure out how to define a default locale and
dealing with the different locales set by IE7 & Firefox (spa/es-es).
This last issue is really annoying, as it hides one's records from the
other when using locale autodetection.
Comments, improvements and suggestions are more than welcome :)
