Why don't the Article category have other language options?

[PreMadeKB]

Hello,

 

I installed ES language and saw that there is an ES language option in the "Add Article" page, but there is no such option for Category?


If the default language is English and 2nd language is Spanish, then how can you also add a Category name in both languages? as we can do in the "Add Article" page?)

 

Add Article Page:

 

 

Add Category Page:

 

 

Installed Blesta version: 4.5.2 

(Is Multi-Language option available in latest version?)

 

Thanks.

Not currently supported.  I've created a task for this CORE-3612

For now maybe have a category for each language?  You'd have to make duplicate articles for each, so it's not ideal :/

If a client chooses the Spanish language, then display the Spanish category. (If available else Default language).

 

Exact like blesta using it for articles?

No, with the current state of the code they would just see both and select the category with the language that applies to them.  Once CORE-3612 is done the the categories will act like articles do now and show a different name/description based on what language the user has selected.

Does it mean category/article will display in the Default language even if the visitor(non-logged in) selected another language?

Like this page. (In the top right-hand side, You can select the language)

Yes.  It's not ideal, which is why I created the task. But it does at last allow you to show categories in each language, and after they select the language category things will look pretty much the same as if it did support multi language.
