 Description   

<< PLEASE NOTE THAT SCOPE DELIVERED IN THIS EPIC IS THE MVP OF I18N STORIES APP >>

Provide the ability to translate content in the Stories app. Provide an officially supported i18n mechanism for the content editor.

Business benefit: Some partners and clients tried the Stories app but did not start using it because they cannot translate stories. Adding translation capability will boost adoption.

Before adding this additional functionality, we will migrate the content editor to the new UI framework: CONTEDIT-256.

Workaround
The is a module in the incubator here: https://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/SERVICES/Content+Editor+I18n+Support

We urgently need this. An important  customers wants to use it - and we always have to advice him not to do this.

 

It is really bad in terms of trust and credibility.

Great to hear, rainer. Thanks for validating the topic.

Hi, 

We also investigated using the Stories app as an option for managing/publishing news & events in a 7 language website. But we had to tell the customer we can't do it because it lacks multilanguage support. Not good, because one of the reasons they bought Magnolia was because of the multilanguage support.

So please add multilanguage support, if possible to the app

Hi all

We also wanted to use this already in many projects but refrained from it because of missing multi lang support. We instead went with the oldschool approach by having a story overview and story detail template.

Assuming we start using it now and create stories in german. Will we be able to translate them easily in the future after the installation of the new release? Or will old stories not be backwards compatible?

Right now we only have the requirement of 1 language, but more will come fore sure in the future. So if the version that ships it, makes existing content easily translatable, we will already start using it.

Hi cristianbalaguerjehle I'm Laura from the PM team. We are just wrapping up the development of the i18n feature for Stories, which will soon be available. I will send you a quick email, as it would be great to connect and talk about the feature's availability, run a demo of it, and answer any questions you might have about it.
