Hi Sebas Perhaps, instead of transcluding the contents of other fields, you should exchange the contents with the 'text' field. That way, you can edit your text in the text field, then exchange the contents with another field, edit the text in another language in the text field ... and so on.

Hi Might work quite well if you exchanged the contents out to one or more data dictionaries instead of a large number of fields in the current tiddler. Once the dictionaries and swopping mechanism have been implemented -- the process of editing should be transparent, and you'll no longer have

Hi Sebas, I am not actually sure I quite understand the multi-language approach you were trying to take. Fwiw, for more than one reason, I would not recommend overloading individual tiddlers with various language versions of it in the form of fields, problem #1 being the title. Admittedly, I

Hi Sebas This doesn't entirely address your problem, but might help a little. Instead of {{!!MyTextField}} -- try this: <$transclude field="MyTextField" mode="block"/> However, I'm inclined to agree with Tobias -- I think it will be more flexible to create separate tiddlers for each
