Use-Case:
-----------
Say you have a english page and two editors for the translation (lets
say french and german)
* both want to translate independently and publish the changes independently
* therefore two seperate workspaces are created.
Problem:
---------
TemplaVoila and FCE have one disadvantage if you want to dial with the
workspace features:
* It is not possible to work independently in two workspaces regarding:
* adding new content elements
* adding new translations
(This should both be possible in the classic templating concept.)
The reason is that for a translation no new database record is required
for FCE - and therefore it results in a workspace conflict if two people
want to translated content in two diffrent workspaces. (Because two
seperate versions are created)
=>The later publishing wins and the translation is lost.
(The same is the case for simply adding new CE to a page in two
workspaces: because the page itself needs to be versioned it results
also in a conflict)
Idea (at least for translating):
------
1) kind of mergin for flexforms - but i think thats nearly impossible
and will break with the versioning concept
2) Use the old classic overlay mode also for FCE: Means flexforms are
not localised in the XML, but localised via a new overlay record. (Just
as text / text w image elements)
Therefore I did like to introduce new meta setting for DS like:
<langDatabaseOverlay>1</langDatabaseOverlay>
What do you think?
