TOPIC: Use on a Multi -language website

Hi Yves
Just been researching your Matukio component and it looks very exciting!
We currently use RSEvents for booking systems on several sites we support but are looking to possibly shift to a slightly more flexible system.
One question! One site we are working on runs workshops in Germany and the UK and advertises their events in German and English
We have been setting up the site to provide an English and German version using Falange .
Would Matuki work with a translation system - Falange works by allowing you to make a separate translation of articles, modules etc etc inside the one installation of Joomla
Would it be possible to do this with events listings?

Hi Andrew,

Would Matuki work with a translation system - Falange works by allowing you to make a separate translation of articles, modules etc etc inside the one installation of Joomla

Hmm i don't know Falange, but Matukio offers multilanguage suppport (at least for most things) with the "normal" in Joomla integrated translation system.

Kind regards,

Yves

Thanks for the reply!
Can you explain what you meant by multilanguage support
Or better still do you have an example where this is used!

You have different options for that:

1.) The normal Joomla style (with different menu entries for each language and separate events etc.)
2.) The language override solution (one event which is translated individually for the user - e.g. almost all shown things in Matukio are parsed through the language translator, e.g. if you make a title MY_MULTI_LANGUAGE_TITLE and create two language overrides for that (e.g. "Mein Titel" in german and "My title" in english), the same event will have two different languages based on the users profile (or menu link setting etc., but without two separated events).

Kind regards,

Yves
