Luis Cruz	Friday 25 August 2006 10:11:15 am Greetings; I am running a multi-lingual setup of eZ consisting of English (US), English (UK), German, and Japanese. Each language is bound to a particular siteaccess by domain name (e.g., foo.de = German, foo.co.jp = Japanese) with English (US) being the default/fall-back language. Is it possible to limit editors in the CMS interface to be able to edit only a specific translation for a content object? For example, I setup a login for a German translator. I do want him to be able to alter the contents of the German translation but not be able to directly edit the other translations. The one problem I see is if the German translator needs to create a new object that has yet to be translated into English (US). For the record, I am running 3.6. Cheers.

What you can do is create three different admin interfaces, each with another default language, but this does not block your translatord from editing other languages.
