Re: [xwiki-users] Documents and classes design question

See this document in order to learn the basics of the translations module: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/I18N . A trick to solve your problem would be to have a single 'name' property for the 'Species' class. Let's say that you attached an object of type 'YourSpace.Species' class to a document named 'YourSpace.DocName'. You set the value of the 'name' property to 'sp_name_key' (use a key in order to be able to use translations based on it). Edit the document in wiki mode and write: {{velocity}} #set($thisDocSpeciesNameKey = $doc.getObject('YourSpace.Species').getProperty('name').value) ## $thisDocSpeciesNameKey value is 'sp_name_key' $msg.get("$!thisDocSpeciesNameKey") {{/velocity}} ## save the document In the translations document, for the 'en' version you write the key & value like this: sp_name_key=my EN sp name ## save the document For the 'fr' version, you write this: sp_name_key=my FR sp name ## save the document Now, if you go to .../view/YourSpace/DocName (your document in 'view' mode), by changing the language you will see that the displayed name is different for each language.
