[Feature req] Multilangual content

[Elfangor93]

Description

One of the advantages of joomla against other cms systems is the possibility to create multilangual websites. At the moment JoomGallery does not support the creation of language specific content.
In the content component of the Joomla crore (com_content) you can assign categories and articles to specific language. If used only the content assigned to the current language are displayed in the frontend.

This approach has only limited use for images, as an image itself normally is language-independent. However, the information (title, description, meta-description and meta-keywords) stored with the image/category has to be translated into the different languages the website supports.
Therefore a better approach is to offer additional input fields for the langage dependent information of the image/category. A similar approach is used in the JoomShopping component but there only for the languages english and german.

At the moment this could be achieved by using a language switcher plugin like the n3t Language Filter . Since this is not a component integrated solution it does not work very well on all langage dependent fields.

What is requested

The wish of this issue is to offer an additional tab in the editing forms to add translations of the language dependent information (title, description, meta-description and meta-keywords) of the image/category for every language activated on the website.

What is to be done

• Add table to DB containing the translations of the image/category information
• Add form fields for the translations (edit image, edit images, edit category)
• Add functionality to models in order to load the information in the current langage
• Add language to router

I'm using Falang extension for multilingual content, it works very well with JoomGallery.
There are both: free and paid components.
