active translation available for Drupal 5
Warning: Code is really in alpha state, however since this module is one of the most important and overlooked ones out there in terms of i18n, I thought I should mention it on the planet if others may want to pick it up and polish what is pretty much working now. Here is the issue for the drupal-5 port.
If you don’t know what Active Translation is, from the maintainer: Andrew aka drewish:
The Active Translation module is designed for internationalized sites where translated versions of content need to be displayed when available but if they’re not the original, untranslated content should be displayed. If several regional versions of a language are available these will be used as substitutions.
By default Drupal’s node listings show all content. So if you translate a node, both the original and translations are displayed. The Internationalization module, another contrib project, tried to improve on this on this. It gives you several options for rewriting queries to list nodes.
Keep in mind this is totally alpha code, but I thought since this is such a useful module, I should share it with everyone and encourage people to contribute to the effort.
Development was mainly sponsored by CivicActions.
