README

An extension that allows for esay translation of content in multilingual websites using eZ Publish.

Based on translation services from Google ($$), Microsoft, Frengly, Mymemory.

Please note that not all of these services support translation from/to all languages.

Also they might have limitatins on the number of translation requests per day.

Requirements

• eZJSCore extension
• eZPubish 4.x (NB: the provided templates have been tested with eZP 4.6 and 2012.1 only)
• for most translation providers, an account has to be created

Technicalities

• provides a javascript function "eztranslate" to translate texts. This function can be used by developers in any template they want (as long as they do not forget to include the "parts/tsengineload.tpl" template first)

• uses ezjscore for translation calls, thus avoiding saame-origin ajax limitations

• by default adds interface elements ("translate" links) to the "translate content" page This happens for designs admin, admin2, ezwebin

• translatabale datataypes: string, text, image (the ALT tag), keywords

FAQ
