To correctly implement i18n and l10n for your purpose you need first to create the following MySQL tables:
Categories table: CREATE TABLE `categories` ( `id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `created` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL, `updated` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `created` (`created`), KEY `updated` (`updated`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM, DEFAULT CHARACTER SET UTF8; Note that the `name` field is only virtual and should not be present on table schema. In case if you use TreeBehavior categories table should be like this: CREATE TABLE `categories` ( `id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `parent_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED, `lft` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL, `rght` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL, `created` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL, `updated` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `parent_id` (`parent_id`), KEY `lft` (`lft`), KEY `rght` (`rght`), KEY `created` (`created`), KEY `updated` (`updated`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM, DEFAULT CHARACTER SET UTF8; And of course the i18n table: CREATE TABLE `i18n` ( `id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `foreign_key` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL, `locale` VARCHAR(6) NOT NULL, `model` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, `field` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, `content` MEDIUMTEXT, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `row_id` (`foreign_key`), KEY `locale` (`locale`), KEY `model` (`model`), KEY `field` (`field`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM, DEFAULT CHARACTER SET UTF8; The php code for Category model is: <?php class Category extend AppModel { public $name = 'Category'; public $actsAs = array( 'Translate' => array( 'name' ) ); } ?> To correctly save a category to database (english and german) the data array should be like the following (title field value should be an associative array with locales as keys and titles as values) : $data = array( 'Category' => array( 'title' => array( 'eng' => 'some english title', 'ger' => 'some german title' ) ) ); And under the controller use this to save the category: $this->Category->save($data); Hope this will help! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
