Hi, I can't find a way to translate taxonomy terms.

Am I missing something, of the feature is missing from the backdrop port of 118n module?

Thanks!

Accepted answer

I've also met the same problems. Backdrop 2 is expected to be with improved multilingual maintenance:

https://backdropcms.org/roadmap#2.0

Until then I use different dictionaries for different languages and I make a manual transliteration of the terms from dictionaries other than English because after the dictionary has no language, the transliteration does not work correctly.

For home page with another language I use another workaround - create or translate the home page into a different language and make redirection from EXAMPLE.COM/DE (for example) to the URL of the translated page.

Tried installing the Taxonomy Title module , It apparently doesn't help..

I was brave enough to try this module: https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/i18n

Not in the convenient "add functionality" tab, but I said, why not, let's try!

It totally screwed my site, I guess a nice full integration of 118n for backdrop is still a far horizon.

Since 118n porting seems stopped in 2016.. so far only node translation works, but then is not even easy to have a separate language on homepage.

I hope so.. since it seems easy to udpate from drupal 7 to backdrop, I guess I'll stick with d7 for multilingual projects, untill bd gets more mature...

There's a new request called "Translate taxonomy terms" in the Backdrop core issue queue: github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/2934. There hasn't been much activity yet but I hope it will get some attention soon.

There have also been some more activities on multilingual questions lately. You can find an overview on the Backdrop4Good page on Github, where we are working on a project which serves as a use case to improve Backdrop's multilingual capabilities: github.com/Backdrop4Good/backdrop4good.org/issues/19
