[TYPO3-l10nmgr] Compatibility issue with TemplaVoilà?

[Johannes Pohl]

Hello everyone,

(Apologies in advance if this newsgroup is not the adequate forum to 
post “support” queries. Any pointers in the right direction will be very 
much appreciated).

As part of my BA thesis project I’m planning to use l10nmgr in the 
localization process for the website of a major training school for 
translators and interpreters in Germany.

After installing the l10nmgr extension successfully in our sandbox 
environment (TYPO3 v. 4.1.7), creating an l10nmgr configuration and 
translating the selected content using the online translation feature, a 
new Alternative Page Language is properly created (in this case 
“English”), including translated content (subtitle) from the online 
translation.

However, the localized (or rather “translated”) content is not inserted 
for this newly created language, but as a localization of the default 
language (in this case, “German”) and thus not displayed in the 
front-end version of the website, since the website – as I understand it 
– is configured to work with localized page content rather than 
localizations of the default language. I was told this might have 
something to do with TemplaVoilà.

(Please refer to this screenshot in case I failed to make myself clear:

This led me to believe that there may be a compatibility/structural 
problem with the installed TemplaVoilà (templavoila 1.3.3) and/or 
Language Selection (sr_language_menu 1.2.4) extensions respectively.

Basically, my question is whether the l10nmgr extension (or 
TYPO3/TemplaVoilà – whatever’s easier/more advisable) is compatible with 
TemplaVoilà at all, and if so, whether it (or TYPO3) can be configured 
to insert the translations as new content of the alternative languages 
rather than as localizations under the default language.

If you need more information regarding the specific configuration of 
this TYPO3 version, please shout and I’ll be happy to provide it for you.

Thanks for reading through these newbie-esque ramblings (as they must 
seem to you) and for nudging me in the right direction :-)

Kind regards from Munich
