Hi

I wonder how you can filter or make event for different languages?

So users that are login for a certain langauges get the event in their language or filtered away so they dont see an event that is not written in their language?

For exaple a user that is login in Italian langauge should not see a language event in English etc etc

Rgds
Hey Stan,

I am sorry but unfortunately that is not possible currently as it is not going to be possible to tie up events with specific languages. I do think by segregating that, you are actually looking into more of a multi site setup rather than a multi lingual site.

For instance, if Facebook were to segregate contents this way, the data that is available to the users would be very minimal.

hmm yeah mabye that is to much content for events but shouldnt that be possible? hmm you create the different events by langauges and then write text to the event in different languages...just so its minimal just the text for each events that need to be translated manually.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, we cant achieved this currently. But it would be best if you can submit a feature request regarding this issues by creating a new ticket on the forums and set it to "Feature Request", so everyone else could vote for it, the more people request on this, and we will priority consider it.

Thanks for your understanding

Hey Stan,

It makes sense to have that on a blog (EasyBlog supports multi lingual content out of the box too) but to have it on events is a little overkill don't you think so?

Perhaps, what we could do in the future is allow events listings to be filtered by custom advanced searches, http://take.ms/CCwwQ . This way, on the sidebar of events listing, you get to filter by English events or other language events.

Yeah agree about the blog bcs it could be an option if you create blogs on "All languages" and then if a user comes to a site and have a certain language ie es-ES and only want to read blogs/news in his own language es-ES then he have a language selector ( flags) to choose his own language es-ES for blogs/news.

But also for events I think if you for example have 3 languages you can create "copy of your first created event" for example have a total of 3 events and that should be an option for that in ES so you can duplicate an event and also set a language for that event ie show language all, en-GB, es-ES etc with checkboxes for each event. So you set one event for en-GB the next to es-ES etc with different language text and headings.

Then when a user comes to his ES profile he will only see the customized event that belong to his language browser setting ie en-GB, es-ES etc

Hm, this would make sense if events are only created by admins. If the events are created by user themselves, it's going to be too much hassle for them to create different events with different languages. I don't think it makes sense for the end users.

Also, if you are going to manually create events for users on different languages, it would be a nightmare to maintain it. If you get 10 event creation requests a day, you are going to manually duplicate about 20 events if you have 3 different languages on the site.

Well there is always that problem if you have more langauges on the site. Its like if you have 2 extra languages its like building 3 sites instead of 1 so that will always be a problem..

Ok you think about it but I think this is important for people that really want to customize to be local with languages and people feel good about having everything on a Joomla site or not..its would be a pity if some of your content was a mismatch like showing an event in English and you have all other things in your site in Greek etc

Cheers!
