I'll post our solution here, as soon as we get it all figured out!

It follows very closely to my proposed solution. <br /><br />I haven't given up on Atlassian just yet, and it seems that they prioritize their work based on votes in there feature tracking system. So, please!!! Go to their site and vote for the internationalized content feature!!! You can get there if you follow the link in my post, http://gretchenmoran.blogspot.com/2007/01/follow-on-to-internationalization-vote.html .Gretchen Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14898841044841630941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31405041.post-45385520130569712842007-02-05T04:07:00.000-08:002007-02-05T04:07:00.000-08:00Hi Gretchen,
Did you find a solution for your pro...Hi Gretchen,<br /><br />Did you find a solution for your problem? <br />We are at a similar point in our current project where we are considering confluence for the online documentation. Support for multiple languages is a must and since it is for an agile product, it should be easy to maintain, update and extend the content translations. I like the <a href="http://gretchenmoran.blogspot.com/2006/12/hefty-job-of-internationalization.html">approach</a> which has been suggested.Harald Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10234988163986053047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31405041.post-82463471728459837592007-01-12T08:18:00.000-08:002007-01-12T08:18:00.000-08:00Hi Michael,
Thanks for your comments on the subje...Hi Michael,<br /><br />Thanks for your comments on the subject! I have scoured as well as posted a few messsages regarding this subject in your forums. It seems you have a few other customers asking for the same functionality that I have outlined here, but unfortunately, noone from Atlassian answered any of my posts or the others. So I was very happy to get your comments here.<br /><br />Right now, we are still examining our options, including replacing Confluence with a wiki that natively handles internationalized, versioned content. I've been told MediaWiki has such support but haven't had a chance to research that claim yet. <br /><br />Honestly, our hope has been that Atlassian has this feature request on a near-future roadmap for implementation. We have done a pretty deep dive into the technical architecture of Confluence, and versioning and internationalizing content is something we believe should be architected in at the database and content handling core levels of the Confluence application. Not as a customization or a plug-in. <br /><br />I'd love to get your feedback regarding the possibility of putting htis feature on your roadmap. The pentaho team would be happy to help, by giving requirements, use cases, and providing beta testing. We believe strongly that without this kind of content internationalization support, companies that operate inn a global fashion will not be able to adopt Confluence for the long term. We know we can't. <br /><br />Thanks again for your input, look forward to hearing from you! <br /><br />kind regards, <br />-GGretchen Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14898841044841630941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31405041.post-17219566079807709292006-12-20T16:43:00.000-08:002006-12-20T16:43:00.000-08:00Hi Gretchen,

I'm always amazed by the variety of ways in which our wiki can be used - on the face of it, a team-based internationalization effort seems like a perfect fit for the wiki environment.<br /><br />I wanted to let you know that we are in the midst of having professional translations completed for both Confluence and JIRA, in both French and German. I expect to have these available for download by the beginning of January, and they will be included in the next version releases of both products. We plan other translations through the year, so be sure check back on our <a href="http://blogs.atlassian.com">blogs</a> for updates.<br /><br /><br />While I don't have a good answer for how best to go about your project (you've already thought through the things I would have suggested), our user community often finds answers to similar issues on our <a href="http://forums.atlassian.com">forums</a>. I think that if you tried posting this topic there you might get some good feedback.<br /><br />I hope you'll post again as to how you eventually solved this problem - I'll look forward to hearing the details.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Michael Knighten @ AtlassianUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11077109374092995673noreply@blogger.com
