Multi-lingual site images

Friday 24 October 2003 8:45:10 am

Hi,

I was looking through the eZ example site www.fast.no and i notice that the images for each language are sotred in their own directory

/design/ita/images
/design/jpn/images
etc.

Is their a comment to refernce this from within templates? How can you make {"aboutus.gif"|ezimage} select the ita or jpn folder?

I'll try to give a quick overview on how the multilingual part of the fast site was done.

design structure:
design/
[...]
-- fast/
-- -- images/
-- -- templates/
-- -- override/
-- en/
-- -- images/
-- pt/
-- -- images/
-- jp/
-- -- images/
[...]

Each siteaccess uses it own design. Jp siteaccess uses jp design, pt uses pt design and so on...

Each design has images for it own language.
In site.ini.append AditionalSiteDesignList[] is set to 'fast' so when Exponential doesnt find a template/image it will fallback on the fast design before falling back on standard.

Entering http://fast.no/jp (japaneese siteacces), images will be taken from design/jp/images because the design defined for the jp siteaccess is jp, but templates will be fetched from design/fast/ since there is no templates for the jp design. Images must of course have the same filename for this to work.

Ole,

Can you please supply the siteaccess/xx/site.ini.append settings for the jp translation for

[DesignSettings]

and

[RegionalSettings]

And for the override sint.ini.append.php
[DesignSettings]

and

[RegionalSettings]

So I can see the way you have this setup, as i have tried all combinations and the {"aboutus.gif"|ezimage} does not look in the other image location first.

Hi Ole,

I have the same settings, except its in Spanish so.

in the siteaccess es in settings/siteaccess/es

[DesignSettings]
SiteDesign=es
StandardDesign=standard

[RegionalSettings]
Locale=esl-ES
ContentObjectLocale=esl-ES
HTTPLocale=es
Debug=enabled
ContentXMLCharset=disabled
TextTranslation=enabled
TranslationCache=disabled
TranslationRepository=share/translations/
TranslationExtensions[]
DevelopmentMode=disabled

in the site.ini.append in override

[DesignSettings]
AdditionalSiteDesignList[]=user

'user' being the default site design.

I have read all the documentation and have experimented but still no luck. any advice?
