Localizator

Localizator lets you create language versions / satellites without contexts, with automatic translation of all resource fields (including TVs) and lexicons.

• Friendly URLs must be enabled
• Requires pdoTools and MIGX

Setup

Create "localization" pseudo-contexts (e.g. site.ru/en/ and ch.site.ru):

Resources get a tab where you fill standard fields + SEO + TVs; a button then translates everything into other languages.

System settings

To use pdoTools snippets (pdoResources, pdoMenu) for localized resources, set pdoFetch.class to pdotools.pdofetchlocalizator.

All resource fields are replaced by localized values except content, which is output via {$_modx->resource.localizator_content}.

For mFilter2, set mse2_filters_handler_class to mse2LocalizatorFilter.
