slc.linguatools 1.3.2

Requirements and Installation

This package only works and makes sense if you have LinguaPlone installed.

Add “slc.linguatools” to the eggs and zcml sections of your buildout configuration. After running buildout and restarting your instance, go to the Site Setup -> Add-on Products, choose slc.linguatools and click “install”.

A tab named “Lingua Tools” will then appear on all translatable objects.

Functions

slc.linguatools offers assistance for the following use cases:

• Set title or description:

  Set the title / description on all translations; either directly to the string you entered, or based on an i18n label and domain

• Rename an object

  Rename all translations to the id (short name) you entered

• Set portlets

  Propagate the portlet settings of the canonical object to all translations, either for all slots or the one you chose. Block / unblock portlet inheritance per slot.

• Workflow

  Publish all translations

• Catalog reindex

  Reindex all translations of an object

• Deleter

  Delete all translations of an object

• Cut and paste

  Cut all translations of an object and paste them to another folder

• Property handling

  Set a property with id, type and value on all translations. Example: Set string property “layout” to “@@my-shiny-view”. Delete an existing property.

• Subtyping (if p4a.subtyper is installed)

  Set a subtype on all translations; remove a subtype

• Translate an object

  Create a translation of the current object for all available languages. The AT attributes that should be copied over can be selected. If the object is a Collection, then all criteria are copied as well. This function can also be used to copy values of AT attributes and collection criteria to already existing translations.

Versions

The first version of this tool featured a manually written BrowserView. During the Plone-Conference 2009 sprint, a second version that uses z3c form was written. This is the version visible by default via the “Lingua Tools” tab. The original version is still accessible under @@linguatools-old.
