How to support more languages for a gallery

Hello,

let's have a minimal example:

* About
* Select Language
* Photos
** Folder A
** Folder B

The "About" page is a text page.
"Select lang" is a text page with links to change lang parameter en/de/cz

Goal:
* gallery navigation (tooltips, context menu action labels) in different lang: en/de/cz - this is supported by imagevue already
* menu (folder titles) based on selected lang
* text pages based on selected lang

Do you have any hints how can I face this issues?

Just add a bunch of links with ?language=english, ?language=german etc, should be okay. If you will face any issues, please report and we would like to help you.

Actually you can create 'Languages textpage' and subnodes with type="link" pointing at the same links /?language=xxxxx. This way you'll have all languages right there in menu.

Right this is what the content of "Select languge" page should be.

But I want to have translated the "gallery menu" and also the content of the text pages should be different.


------ EN
* Home
This site is about ...
* Select language
* Photos

------- DE
* Hause
Diese seite ist uber ...
* Sprache
* Fotos

Ideas how the impl can looks like. The folder structure:

ROOT
*common
**Photos
*EN
**About (text page)
**Langauge (text page)
**Photos (type=folderlink , target is common/photos)
*DE
**Uber us
**Sprache
**Fotos (type=folderlink , target is common/photos)

What is this type=folderlink. This is how I would be able to include common/photos folder to lang specific menu.

Why the type=link is not a solution, because if I would use link, then the the selected folder parent DE/EN will be lost.

I am still open for some workaround. I am really willing to implement the whole site in Imagevuex X2, I prefere this to just use your gallery for the image gallery part.

Thanks for help.

Here is the workaround for you, set EN and DE as hidden folders.
Hidden won't show up in menu untill you get into them.

Then add links to those hidden folders and it would look like you just switching languages because users wont see other language folders.
