When we say a website is multi-lingual it means users are able to view the website in any of the supported language as long as a translation is available for that page. So a French visitor will be able to chose French and see everything in French. This is not restricted to the site buttons, titles and forms. This should also include any the content, its descriptions, categories, tags etc. There should be a way for the Site admin / editor to provide translation to any / all of the content, blocks etc .

In that sense UNACMS is not a TRUE multi-language CMS currently. It only allows translating the User interfaces and few custom texts using the polyglot module.

The user content (Posts, Groups, tags, Albums etc) are not multi-language. Users coming from a different locale will can only view the original language. Content creators / Admins have no way to include a translation for any content

So if a norml user creates a post on "Mobile Phone", there is no way to provide "teléfono móvil" and "điện thoại di động" to the Spanish and vietnamese user even if the content creator wants to do that.

Exception seems to be only the WIKI module where content translation can be added. But it still is incomplete as only one field is translatable.

Hope future versions of UNA can be multi-lingual in the TRUE sense.
