Hi,

Out of the 3 default fields int eh site config (title, tagline, theme) 2 are text fields that are shown int eh basic theme. These two are not translated when adding translatable - but surely they would be?

I've placed the site footer as a HTMLEditField in there and it would be very nice if it was "translatable" - can someone help me with this please?

Hi swaiba,

I'm not quite sure if I understand you correctly (especially that part:"...shown in the basic theme."...)
But when I'm logged into the backend and change the language in the profile settings (and refresh the page), all fields in SiteConfig will be translated (SS-2.4.5).
...

The Translatable stuff from my /mysite/_config.php:

Translatable::set_default_locale('de_DE');
Object::add_extension('SiteTree', 'Translatable');
Object::add_extension('SiteConfig', 'Translatable');

...
Hope this helps a bit,
Cheers
Christian

I had not translated the site config! I'll try that... thanks!

do you think that something like this would work for widgets too?

Thanks Christian - the site config (and therefore custom footer) now is translatable :)

^^ Uh oh, sorry I never had to deal with that problem
and honestly I'm quite happy about that since translatable and stuff makes my brain melt)
I'm still struggling with a proper way to translate different DataObjects...

Edit1: YAY :-)

Edit2:

Object::add_extension('MyCustomShinyDataObject', 'Translatable'); <-- wonder how I could miss that... *slamsheadagainsttable*

since translatable and stuff makes my brain melt

you are telling me - built a system and now each non-sitree page, ajax request, widget, image and so on needs to be reworked and I feel like I am rewriting the translatable each time! This was actually one of the easiest fixes...
