Hi Tobias and Matabele, Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond. I tried the <$transclude field="MyTextField" mode="block"/> approach, but unfortunately then I do not get macro definitions to work. In regards to the titles, I already use this in my project and I do not have any problems with different languages. The titles displayed in the story view just use Conditional Variable Assignment <http://tiddlywiki.com/#SetWidget> and depending on which language is set up in a *language* field for a specific tiddler, that localized title is chosen. I just edited the $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/title <http://sebas-uk.tiddlyspot.com/#%24%3A%2Fcore%2Fui%2FViewTemplate%2Ftitle> tiddler and here is a simplified example I made: Customizing Tiddler Titles <http://sebas-uk.tiddlyspot.com/#Customizing%20Tiddler%20Titles:%5B%5BCustomizing%20Tiddler%20Titles%5D%5D%20%2Fexamples%2Fcustom_title> on http://sebas-uk.tiddlyspot.com/
I know both of you are recommending to go the separate-tiddler-for-each-language approach, but this is what I am currently doing and I can confirm that this approach is a maintenance nightmare. My project uses a lot of parameterization, meaning that each tiddler makes heavy use of Jeremy's TiddlyWiki philosophy using the the smallest semantic units possible. Keeping the same context in one tiddler with different languages would make this easier. I currently have a setup which works and groups tiddlers in this way: /EN/Welcome_text /FR/Welcome_text /DE/Welcome_text /ES/Welcome_text /IT/Welcome_text /PT/Welcome_text ... However we are looking at hundreds of templates and we are using at least 6 languages at the moment and each text uses macros to modify certain portions, because on top of the languages, these semantic units also change depending on the recipient ... e.g. "issue_customer", "issue_agent", "issue_supplier", etc. But each tiddler is a semantic unit of its own. Grouping one text in one tiddler ... often just a single sentence reused in many places ... would really make this thing much easier to manage. The end user does not care about the fields and is just presented with the text. I'm sorry to disagree with you guys, but I would like to know if this is currently possible with TiddlyWiki. Can I change the text field at all or amI at a dead end here? Thanks, Sebas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
