I'm still in the dev process of internationalizing my site and I've received some great help so far but now I appear to be at a bit of a wall.
I've checked "Enable content language filters"
I've assigned forums to a specific language.
I've created users and assigned them to a specific language.
My problem is that the users set language and the language to filter the forums by seem unrelated.
A forum that is set to "Francais / French" can be seen by all users regardless of language, not just my French users.
The "filtering" languages seem to lay in 'communityserver.config' and seem to be disconnected from the 'languages.xml' How can I get both of these on the same page?
Thank you for any help! (I'm a bit stuck)
were you able to get this resolved?
Have you enabled Content Language Filters under Control Panel > Site Configuration > Setup > General Site Settings. Also, I believe users have to select which languages to filter out in their profile. You could write a CS Module to change the behaviour so thsoe who select French as their language only see the French sections etc.
CS Documentation - now available in downloadable PDF form
My CS Site
We plan on enabling them once we are ready for other languages. However when setting up a forum don't i still need to setup 2 forums - one for french and then one for english? I want to allow people to post universally in their language into a forum - but to the user it says "abc" and to the french "xyz" but underneath it's still the same forum.
I didn't think forum names are specific to the language sections in the setup???
You're not going to do that out of the box.
My suggestions however would be to replace all instances of <CSForum:ForumData Property="Name" runat="server /> with something like
<%=ResourceManager.GetString("ForumName-" + CSControlUtility.Instance().CurrentForum.SectionID.ToString(),"ForumNames.xml) %>
Then inside each language pack, create a new ForumNames.xml file, create resources with the names "Forum-N" where N is the sectionID of each forum, and you can give then show a different name for each forum.
You may also have to make some changes to the Emails Provider to replace the [ForumName] text token to get that resource instead of just Forum.Name.
