LinguaPlone 4.1.1 not translating page/object content

Question

Thanks Stack =)

Expected Outcome:

Successful translation of existing website pages into Spanish

Actual Outcome:

Page title, description, and content is not translated.

Stack:

• Ubuntu Ubuntu 10.04.4 LT (Lucid)
• Apache 2.2.14
• Plone-4.1.4-UnifiedInstaller
• LinguaPlone 4.1.1

Troubleshooting

zmi/portal_languages has the following settings:

• Use the language of the content item.
• Use cookie for manual override. (Required for the language selector viewlet to be rendered.)
• Use browser language request negotiation.
• Create content initially as neutral language.

Used mysite.org/@@language-setup-folders to establish language folders

• Language folders en and es created successfully

When i select "Translate into: Spanish"

• I choose a page to translate, in example "Apprenticeship".

• My edit url looks like this: mysite.com/apprenticeship-es/edit

• I am presented with my original untranslated text and a form. Ironically all the plone menus and form components translate perfectly but my content remains untranslated.

I tried coping and pasting the text into the form thinking maybe it would translate it but after i save the page: apprentiship-es, its contents still render in English. I tried copying it into mywebsite.com/es directory but that had no affect either.

Solution: My question was irrelevant to linguaplone since it doesn´t perform "User Created" content translation. It translates plones user interface and give us a nice form to paste our translated text into. As @vangheem said, a translation framework.

If you want to translate your "User created" content ie webpages use an external service like:

• translate.google.com/translate_tools
