Yes I long ago learned (no doubt the hard way) to make copies and work with a versioning workflow so that I can always roll back. My confusion stems from not understanding what happens once there are two configurations in the MML Form Manager. I take it there is a step 4. Where I need to assign the new configuration to the TV...? [ed. note: lucy last edited this post 11 years, 6 months ago.]

When you create the TV, just put whatever configuration you want to use in its Configuration field.

I think the easiest way is to create a MODX - lexicon-entry for contact in each language
and use lexicon - tags (uncached!):
[[!%contact]]

Don't you need topic & namespace properties?

[[%key? &topic=`topicname` &namespace=`namespace_name` &language=`en`]]

only, if the namespace/topic wasn't loaded before, by snippet, plugin or other lexicon-tag.

the language-property isn't needed, if you want the lexicon-entry of the current language.

Hi, I'm having troubles displaying translated MML tv's.

I'm calling pdoResources from a snippet (wich creates a PDF file)

	$contents .= $modx->runSnippet('pdoResources',array(
	  'parents'    => '-1',
	  'tpl'        => 'productpage',
	  'resources'  => $value,
	  'limit'  => '0',
	  'hideContainers'  => '1',
	  'includeContent'  => '1',
	  'includeTVs'      => 'mml_pagetitle,mml_introtext,product_image,price,consumerprice,promoprice,Termsofdelivery,PaymentTerms,opmerkingen_last,mml_productcontents,mml_technicalinformation,mml_productdescription',
	  'debug'      		=> '0',
	  'sortby'      	=> 'FIELD(modResource.id, '.$value.' )',
	  'sortdir'     	=> 'ASC',
	  'prepareTVs'     	=> '1',
	  'loadModels'      => 'migxmultilang',
	  'prepareSnippet'  => 'mmlTranslatePdoToolsRow'
	));

The pdoResources tpl (productpage):

 [[!getImageList?
		  &limit=`1`
		  &docid=`[[+id]]`
		  &tvname=`product-specs`
		  &tpl=`SpecsTableRows.getImageList`
		  ]]

This getImageList tpl (SpecsTableRows.getImageList) contains the MML tv's:

[[+mml_productdescription]]

I think i need to wrap the runSnippet in [[!mmlCache]] somehow, but i'm completely lost here...

do you have the MIGX - TV (product-specs) translated?

You could have a tab for each language inside your MIGX-TV
Then you don't have to create all items again for each language.

Having MIGX - fields like field1_de, field2_de and field1_en, field2_en

you can have placeholders like

[[+field1_[[++cultureKey]]]]

in the getImageList - tpl-chunk

This is how I translate MIGX-items normally.

Otherwise, you would need to put the translated value of the MIGX-TV to getImageList with something like:

[[!getImageList?
         &limit=`1`
         &docid=`[[+id]]`
         &tvname=`product-specs`
         &value=`[[+tv.product-specs]]`
         &tpl=`SpecsTableRows.getImageList`
         ]]

this call is untested, it can be wrong

Hi, I have a big problem with my url's and no idea why. (The language switcher is invisible near the logo, bottom right corner of the screen)
http://directpl.com/en/
http://directpl.com/se/

First home page (url above) works properly. I've tried to move on to the about page but language switch doesn't work- it simply redirects to a page without en or se.
I've use all the tutorial settings. (only home and about are migxmultilang ready wink

Please advise.

I'll just ask three questions that Bruno asked a few clicks back in this thread:

what is the generated link?
what is the cultureKey of this context?
what is the base_url of this context?

Also might help to see what your snippet calls are.

After adding

	<base href="[![!++site_url]]">

Hey,

I tried looking through this feed for these issues but couldn't find them so here they are:

1. Is there a way to add a customized TV that changes the uri text based on the alias field for each language?

2. If you already have a preexisting TV and you want to add a translation for that TV, how would you go about overriding that TV? The first step would be to create a TV within the Form Manager but how would that override the original TV?

Thanks in advance!
