hi, for many sites it will come in handy to have a second field for categories so when switching the language the category name changes to that language as well. If we think about it, everything else is already, say in Spanish, but the categories are in English. I think it would be a great option, as the website titles usually are self-explanatory with the names--or some of us will offer a description in both languages. You may see an example here http://cuscoperu.net/pmd11/ (change language on bottom) On the plugin, there is a second field to enter the category name in a second language that corresponds to the one on the template.
Is there an easy way to do it via extra fields /plugin or something?
<IF {VISITORLANGUAGE} is English>{CATNAME} <OTHERWISE IF {VISITORLANGUAGE} is Italian>{CATITALIAN}</IF>
I have set in the main.tpl and when I change langauges, nothing happens. I have: Added the field "italian" to the category table Added translation to a few cats to test--it is there. I have multilingual and default and it shows in other translated parts
what am I missing? I have checked the spelling and all but still, when the index page is pulled that categories are in English. The 2nd language is named Italian.lng
Browsing the db I noticed that "Collation" is set to "latin1_swedish_ci" I think I used that randonmly...but I have no special characters. is that a problem?

See the introductory manual PDF for instructions on translating categories/links. http://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/manual4.pdf
