plone.app.multilingual 0.2b3

Multilingual Plone UI package, enables maintenance of translations for both Dexterity types and Archetypes

Introduction

This module provides the user interface for managing content translations. It’s the app package of the next generation Plone multilingual engine. It’s designed to work with Dexterity content types and the old fashioned Archetypes based content types as well. It only works with Plone 4.1 and above due to the use of UUIDs to reference the translations.

Usage

To use this package with Dexterity content types you should add to your eggs buildout section:

eggs =
    plone.app.multilingual [dexterity]

If you want to use it with Archetypes based content types:

eggs =
    plone.app.multilingual [archetypes]
