This is an auto-generated topic for Babel 2.2.1-rc1 by mikrobi.

Brief Description:

Babel is an Extra for MODx Revolution that helps you managing your multilingual websites using differentc ontexts. Babel even supports managing several different multilingual websites within one MODx instance by using so called context groups.
Babel maintains links between translated resources. In the manager you can use the Babel Box to easily switch between the different language versions of your resource. Translations can be created automatically by Babel or defined manually.
Additionally Babel can be used to synchronize certain template variables (TVs) of translated resource which should be the same in every context (language).
Offical documentation is located at http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/Babel.

Babel is an awesome plugin, thanks a LOT for bringing it to the community !

I have a question though: how do you modify the plugin settings once it is installed ?

First if I have to add a new context (language) how can I "register" it to the Babel plugin ?
Second how can I modify the list of Babel’s synchronized TVs ?

Up to now, for me, this information seems only available (editable) during the plugin installation / update process...

I searched and searched but couldn’t find a way to do this


Thanks for pointing me into the right direction.

Regards

Go to system settings, choose babel as namespace and adjust your settings

Ok, I think I have to add this to the offical documentation. You’re not the first one asking this questions

I updated the offical docs. Have a look at http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/Babel#Babel-ChangeBabelSettingsafterInstallation
