I would like to add my voice to those asking for a "true" multilanguage system. I am working on a site where:
1) There are up to 10 languages at the moment, and counting.
2) The people who update the site are distributed around the world. They can all use an English management interface, but the content must be in all these languages (including Cyrillic and double-byte languages)
3) The authors and editors have zero technical skills - I really don't want to have them put in HTML tags or square-bracket commands.
4) I want to separate the site areas by language, with a drop-down list to choose the language.
It seems to me that the only way to do this is to make it possible to have ALL content (including blocks etc) include a "language" parameter, so that the block is only displayed if the user has chosen the relevant language (should work also for anonymous users). As far as I can understand Xoops, it would also mean detaching blocks from modules: you should be able to include the same module multiple times, but with different titles (languages) etc. In other words, truly separate the different languages. Any thoughts, is this possible?
