When you change the original, your strings won't be found and you must update the translation table. I prefer the approach of having a phrase's translations together, so that you when you make a change you can update the translations from the same place. An overlay system in Emacs could show only „the current language“ and hide the others, then with some keys you could cycle through languages. I think this is something that can be done at an Emacs level (since it's for any text file), and org can simply use it.

May I just say, this is why I absolutely love this list/community; I write a longish part-rant part-explanation response, and that triggers such an interesting discussion.

Re: [O] org-odt-export-to-odt: hide text
Hi, I have written something that may be useful to some and is somewhat complementary to what is being discussed here. [Well 'written' is not quite accurate -- Nick and Stefan helped me get it together] Its a transliteration system that Ive used with the itrans devanagari (ie Hindi/Sanskrit etc) I expect that in any language in which 1. there is a somewhat accepted standard roman form 2. that roman form is available as an emacs input method 3. the roman is easier to write but painful (for natives of course!!) to read this will be useful ie make a buffer (needs to be visiting a file) containing OM and call rpm-apply-iinput-method and you should get a buffer containing ॐ Regards Rusi -- http://www.the-magus.in http://blog.languager.org apply-input-method.el Description: Binary data

I came up with the basics of an automated translation system, that could
be turned into this. The problem is that I only work from Chinese to
English, so I never got around to multilingual support, nor does it
support tagging or blocking out specific strings to translate.
You put your translation table in an org table, and there's a command to
slurp that into a hashtable. The translation commands just whizz through
the text and swap strings, basically. You can do subtree/region/file,
tag subtrees to translate or not to translate, and there are interactive
(a la query-replace) and noninteractive (for use as an export hook)
versions.
Work on it stalled because I do less translation these days. The core of
it's fairly solid, though, and I'd be happy to push it in whatever
direction people would find useful. The next step would be settling on
syntax: right now you can just leave arbitrary strings in the text, and
anything that matches a term from the dictionary will get translated.
That's only useful when you're essentially just translating a whole file
from one language into another. I'll take a look at the syntax link
above.
Yours,
Eric

I created such a syntax for normal text files [1] but have been struggling to
port it to Org, mainly because of the „header“ concept.
I want translatable content in headers and text inside headers but without
ever having to distort the outline structure (e.g. duplicate headers, missing
titles, …).
I see two solutions:
1)
If only we had „part-of-line drawers“ we could annotate titles directly:
* @ENGLISH{Section 1} @SPANISH{Sección 1}
:ENGLISH:
Section 1 is in English
:ENGLISH:
:SPANISH:
La sección 1 está en español
:SPANISH:
** 123
etc. (more translatable content)
** 456
2)
We could do the same with a property which means „if drawer X is visible, use
this property's value as the title of this section“. E.g.:
* the first section (this title isn't used)
:PROPERTIES:
:TITLE_ENGLISH: Section 1
:TITLE_SPANISH: Sección 1
:END:
:ENGLISH:
Section 1 is in English
:ENGLISH:
:SPANISH:
La sección 1 está en español
:SPANISH:
** 123
etc. (more translatable content)
** 456
Just some ideas for anyone who has the time to come up with a multilingual
export engine.

Hello Uwe, On Sat, Jul 06, 2013 at 10:37:07AM +0200, Uwe Brauer wrote: > > While I would like to have some tags which I could toggle on and off, > for example in the example of Eric, I would just substitute > the tag :noexport: for :export: If you want to use tags, but then say you would prefer not to have headlines, don't you think it is contradictory? This kind of expectation has come up again and again over the years in different forms. To add meta data to a block of text (which is how I view tagging, or properties) you either need XML like enclosing tags or a headline (as Org does), bearing in mind it has to be plain text. I do not think there is any other clean way to implement this other than the way it is presently. To explain with some examples: Org markup syntax like, *bold*, /italics/, etc, can be considered XML like enclosing tags (simplified to a great extent), and tags, properties, TODO keywords, priorities, etc are examples of the headline based division. If you or any other user wants this kind of feature, you have to come up with a syntax that is not intrusive and doesn't break basic Org features. Hope this helps you, and future users, better understand the relevant issues. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Try drawers:
--8<---
#+title: Using drawers to display one language at a time
#+drawers: ENGLISH SPANISH GERMAN
#+options: d:("ENGLISH" "GERMAN")
:ENGLISH:
We can use drawers to display one language at a time,
paragraph by paragraph. The Spanish is currently hidden in export.
To display it, add "SPANISH" to the list after the `d:' option.
:END:
:SPANISH:
¿Que tal?
:END:
:GERMAN:
Wie geht es?
:END:
--8<---

The only issue is if I want to export say either only Spanish or only German, than this approach needs to delete and replace the comments manually. But ok, better than nothing. That is Spanish is exported # german is not exported. # spanish not German is exported. While I would like to have some tags which I could toggle on and off, for example in the example of Eric, I would just substitute the tag :noexport: for :export: However his approach needs to set headers before the text.
