The optional titleproperty of a tag may be translated into multiple languages. Tag titles can then be displayed according to the user language or to the page language.

The following procedure shows how to translate the titleof the tag Animals into English, German and French:

  1. Go to the Tagging console.

  2. Edit the tag Animals below Tags > Stock Photography.

  3. Add the translations in the following languages:

    • English: Animals
    • German: Tiere
    • French: Animaux

  4. Save the changes.

The dialog looks as follows:

edit_tag

The Tagging console uses the user language setting, so for the Animal tag, ‘Animaux’ is displayed for a user who sets the language to French in user properties.

To add a new language to the dialog, please refer to the section Adding a New Language to the Edit Tag Dialog in the Tagging for Developers section.

Displaying Tag Titles in Page Properties in a Specified Language displaying-tag-titles-in-page-properties-in-a-specified-language

By default the tag titlesin the page properties are displayed in the page language. The tag dialog in the page properties has a language field that enables the display of tag titlesin a different language. The following procedure describes how to display the tag titlesin French:

  2. Open the page properties of the Products page in the English branch of the Geometrixx site.

  3. Open the Tags/Keywords dialog (by selecting the pull-down menu to the right of the Tags/Keywords display area) and select the French language from the pull-down menu in the bottom right corner.

    Select the Animals (Animaux) tag and select outside the dialog to close it and add the tag to the page properties.

    french_tag

By default, the Page Properties dialog displays the tag titlesaccording to the page language.

In general, the language of the tag is taken from the page language if the page language is available. When the tag widget is used in other cases (for example in forms or in dialogs), the tag language depends on the context.

NOTE
The tag cloud and the meta keywords in the standard page component use the localized tag titlesbased on the page language, if available.
