This week a colleague of mine showed me the default i18n translation functionality of CQ5.4 which I wasn’t aware of. And I don’t want to keep this one for myself.
It is available via this url : http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/i18n/translator.html (change host and port to your own needs).
Here’s an example of the UI that is presented with the translator:
You have a lot of options available around searching, exporting, importing etc.
Also, with the list-view Administrators can easily see what content is not yet translated.
Using the i18n Translator,
The url provided is to localhost. I would imagine that is a typo.
hi scott,
Thanks for your comment.
It is not a typo, I referred to your local CQ-instance that is normally running at localhost:4502.
Best,
Feike
Is there some additional documentation or clarification on how I can use this?
My questions are centered around the triggering mechanism for the translation and what exactly is being translated. I.e if I have a website foo/en_UK/bar.html is the folder enough to translate all content on the page bar.html to it’s UK equivalent? How do I add additional languages?
thanks
hi jason,
What you can do is to place an “i18n”-folder inside your /apps//i18n.
In this folder you can define the languages you want to use in your application.
I think this subject is a good candidate for a next blogpost to outline a basic example.
Hope this helps,
Feike

I didn’t see any official documentation on the Adobe site or in any of the docs I had, so I put this together:
http://www.6dlabs.com/blog/dklco/2012-05-25/adobe-cq5-translator
Its a fairly complete guide to using the CQ5 Translator tool. I noted some of the gotcha’s with the app, like how it won’t create language pages.
I`ve found some documentation that seems to be official. Anyway it may be usefull http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/cq5-translator.html
