Novaware Multilingual Tools

The Multilingual Tools package in short, lets you get a grip on your translations in Umbraco. It allows users to get an overview of the translation status of Umbraco websites.

The package not only provides an overview, but also offers possibilities to:

establish relationships between translations on a multilingual website
give the user (partly) automated suggestions for possible translations
easily manage these relationships or translations
quickly navigate to translations
create new translations

Tools

Novaware Multilingual Tools consist of a Dashboard and an Actionbar. The Actionbar is for quick action. It shows in a minimalist overview which translations of a page are available and allows you to quickly add translations. The Dashboard is to provide more insight. This is done in an extensive full-screen overview that shows the translations of all the pages under the selected node/page where you view the Dashboard. This way you can see the translation status of your entire content tree in one go.

Updates

Version 1.1.1:

Bugfix in package manifest

Version 1.1.0:

Removed unnecessary IAction causing problems with duplicate shortcuts.
Actionbar property now contains data about which nodes are connected. This can be useful if you want to use a language switcher on your website. Please be aware that the update will not update all actionbar properties on all nodes. It requires you to create or update translations yourself. I might add an auto update in the next version.

NOTE: This package only works when a SQL server is chosen as datasource. SQLite or other databases are not yet supported!
