Hi

I tried to install again Norrnext for a multilanguage site and set up a category for second langauge, first one is english.

But the category mapping for that second language doesnt work it doesnt show up. I have enabled also the multilanguage setting in option backend for Norrnext and tried to make it work but not.

Have you tried a multilanguage with categories? can you double check it for latest version and if there is a bug for that there..

Cheers!

Hi,

For categories you should have a "Translation" tab (if multilanguage is enabled in NorrCompetition), where you can set category's translation title and description. You do not need to create a category for every language.

Kind regards,
Dmitrijs

OK great I find that now :)

So got this working now. But this have some limitations for filter and also if you would like to set up special tags to certain langauges then that doesnt work so this is different solution though not Joomla std for categories

So we can close this ticket but would prefere the Joomla std way of working with categories and multilanguage..

Well that is not the case for NorrCompetiton as it uses translation and not a standard multilanguage.

That's the nature of the component as the contests itself are not divided between languages, simply because the contest is the same object holding entries and not the different objects like articles, for example. So you have the same entries for en-GB, lv-LV and so on contests.
