Hello, we ran into this problem at work because we have multilingual documents content and multilingual document metadatas, however documents needed to be manipulated as a whole.
Before using slide we were using a commercial CM. In this commercial CM we used the following way for multilingual content: - create an 'empty' document (named metadocument) - create a multilingual category - link metadocuments to that category (so we know they are metadocuments) - add a translation in each language as child docs of the meta documents - each translation is linked to a language category (FR, NL, EN) (so we know in which language it's translated) - generic metadatas were stored in metadocument and translated ones (like title) were stored in the language document. This could be achieved with slides (using linknodes) i think. However, we are thinking about using some other way now, This looks more easy to do the following: - when user wants file.pdf, give him file_userlanguage.pdf (file_en.pdf for english user) or file.pdf if translation does not exist. - Same thing for metadatas. This appear to be more consistent with the java localisation of properties files and easier to manipulate, though we still need a metadocument to manipulate the publication. Am opened to discussions about it.
