Simple translation
==================
The simple_translation module provides a user interface that allows users to copy pages and translatable snippets into another language.
- Copies are created in the source language (not translated)
- Copies of pages are in draft status
Content editors need to translate the content and publish the pages.
.. note::
Simple Translation is optional. It can be switched out by third-party packages. Like the more advanced `wagtail-localize <https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail-localize>`_.
Basic configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Add ``"wagtail.contrib.simple_translation"`` to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings file:
.. code-block:: python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
"wagtail.contrib.simple_translation",
]
Run ``python manage.py migrate`` to create the necessary permissions.
In the Wagtail admin, go to settings and give some users or groups the "Can submit translations" permission.
Page tree synchronisation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Depending on your use case, it may be useful to keep the page trees in sync between different locales.
You can enable this feature by setting `WAGTAILSIMPLETRANSLATION_SYNC_PAGE_TREE` to `True`.
.. code-block:: python
WAGTAILSIMPLETRANSLATION_SYNC_PAGE_TREE = True
When this feature is turned on, every time an editor creates a page, Wagtail creates an alias for that page under the page trees of all the other locales.
For example, when an editor creates the page "/en/blog/my-blog-post/", Wagtail creates an alias of that page at "/fr/blog/my-blog-post/" and "/de/blog/my-blog-post/".
