[ckan-dev] CKAN API and multilingual tags

[David Raznick]

Hello,

You are correct, I am afraid the api does not currently translate the
metadata at the moment.

The reason for this was that was the api is mainly used to process the data
rather than display it.  Data got from the api is supposed to be the same
data that is put back into the api and that is why we did not decide to
translate it.

This is a relatively new feature, so it would be good to get your feedback
on your usage.

How did you insert the translations?

How are you expecting to select a language for the tags to be translated
to?  (this was another point as to why we did not decide to translate
through the api)

Do you have your own custom extension that your are using with your
instance?
(There may be a possible workaround if you are)

Thanks

David
