drupal internationalisation module (i18n)
http://drupal.org/project/i18n 6.x-1.1 on 6.14
needed functionality by feature request or any other way
CAN BE DONE WITHIN THE SYSTEM
These are important:
Remove "language neutral" and "other" languages choice for most users that are in the current language. Based on role: normal user can place a post using the language they are in, exclusively. Admin user has all other language options.
Usability background:
The main point is that users will not post language A content in site section language B. Any normal user within a language who adds a post is likely to be using this (his/her own) language - no need to show another language option and such choice also does not make sense: The user should not post his/her own language content in another language (remove the choice of other languages) and should also not place it in "all" other languages (remove language neutral). The user is likely not to understand or be confused by language options such as Lanugage neutral and posting in other languages - such confusion is not desired. The factual possibility to add a post in any other language remains intact - the user can do that by going to the other language - it is up to admin to make that easily available or not.
Generality:
- I've seen a number of requests that go into this direction.
- Yes. This might be a feature with global use for the i18n module - not just a one-off modification.
Comment welcome.
