Current behavior:
While webpage content and data records can be in any language, administration interface and system labels are only available in English.

Desired behavior:
Ability to use other languages, first of all for member and public view, ideally for the admin view as well.

Notes:
1) Languages under consideration:
Spanish, French, German
2) Once we localize the system, each new release will become longer and more expensive since we will need to review and translate new labels into each additional language.

Most our clients will want to provide a bilingual content site. :).  The system localization...is not

important for us..., but the ability to provide an easy to navigate multilingual site is....

Hello from Europe!

I would definitely like to have a "multi-language" option that would allow the user to choose from several available languages.

The languages I would need currently are English, French and German. 

The "development" issue I see for the moment are the custom fields. These would have to be completed "by language", therefore your clients would have to select the languages he wants to use, which would trigger the number of "language fields" to complete for each custom field.

The initial translation cost would indeed be quite high. The following developments shouldn't be too expensive as you build on your "already translated" system, and all that needs to be translated are the new words.

I hope this helped!

Take care - Danielle
