Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Problem displaying localized document titles

Hi devs, Trying to address http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-6228 I noticed today a big problem with the way translations work. $xwiki.getDocument('Main.Welcome').getTranslatedDocument('fr').plainTitle No matter what language I request, the title will always be displayed in English. This is caused by the fact that for all translations, the title is actually $msg.get("xe.dashboard.wiki.welcome"), and $msg uses the context language, not the document language. This means that getting the right title of the document is almost impossible. Given that we've separated the displayers from the oldcore and the main rendering engine, we could change their behavior so that document translations would work better. Whenever displaying some information from a document, we should temporarily change the context language to be the same as the document's language, if any. This would be a backwards-incompatible change, but IMO it's a change for the better.
