Q: I create a category in ES Pages with title ie "Member pages" and want to translate that to another langauge ie Spanish as example that is "Páginas de miembros".

There is no tab in ES backend for categories where I convinient can translate just the tab heading for ES Pages categories ie "Member pages" --> "Páginas de miembros" so I have to go to Joomla override and open a new Spanish translation for "Páginas de miembros".

So I go to Joomla override and start a new Spanish language override for Member pages and search for the "value" Member pages that I have created for the English version b u t Joomla/ES can not find the English created ES Pages category Member pages.

So people/me are lost to make the corresponding translation. You can choose between search for value and Constant and this is a mess to try to find the corresponding Constant.

Q: Why cant ES social instead have a corresponding tab for heading titles where you can directly translate to other languages easy? That would be very good for each of ES different features ie Groups, Pages, Albums, Videos where you set up different categories and also related langauges?

Hey ssnobben,

This is the only way to support multilingual for category title as what supporter suggested at above.

Hi @ssnobben ,
I get your point but why don't you use this method?
https://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/languages/translating-clusters-category-on-multilingual


But this is the method I dont want to use. It takes to much time to work like this and could be solve much easier as other Joomla component I have that solve this sooooo much easier for site devs. If you have 3-4 translations ok but if you have 2-3000 have should you waist your time back and forth for doing this??

I know how to work with language constants and it can be used for Stackideas EasySocial, EB et al but that is what I dont want to use. Dont you see how many process steps you have to do to make this work?

I just want a tab en-GB, es-ES etc side by side and fill in the heading title easy peacy as also Wordpress has discover how it works and Falang..but not Stackideas yet..
