Introduction
------------

Translation manager and helper for `Plone CMS `_ / LinguaPlone sites.

Features
--------

* **Force admin language**: Useful e.g. for when admin needs to work with languages they are not familiar with. Very useful
for strange languages (from western point of view) like China, Japanese or Russian. You can set this language in
the control panel.

* **Translations Manager**: A menu item for the admins in the user menu. This allows you to batch enter translated content
and quickly get overview what contents still needs to be translated.

Notes
-----

Admin language behavior
=======================

By default the forced admin language is handled by overriding language when doing look-ups for ``plone``
and ``collective.*`` gettext translation domains. The logic here is that these language strings
are used by the management interface.

The actual language is not switched in any point: changing the language itself would cause
site behavior differense in folder contents, search and other content listing views making
administrative tasks impossible.

Translation manager
===================

The *Translation Manager* is effective in the current folder and all its childred:
if you have a site with a lot of content you might want to invoke
*Translation Manager* one folder by at the time and not in the site root due
to speed issues of locating translated content.
