Ciao Alessio
Does it works on metadata value or only on metadata labels? 
In the documentation you talk about CKAN Multilingual extensions..
Sorry if maybe my question is trivial, I would like to try directly your tool but the demo site looks down right now.. (http://beta.sciamlab.com:8080/ckan4j/webapi/translate/term/)

    Hello Marco,

      don't know if this will fit your needs but we have developed a
      tools that can help translators maintaining multiple language
      translations of CKAN textual metadata fields. 

      This works in combination of the Multilingual
        Extension and related APIs.

      You can see more details on https://github.com/sciamlab/ckan-multilingual-translator

      

      Regards,

      Alessio

      It sounds great!
        

          We just started here (Trentino-Italian speaking region)
            to chat about how to support multilingual with South
            Tyrol/Alto Adige region (german/italian speaking region)
            that is planning to setup up a regional CKAN 
          And we would like to add this feature to our regional
            CKAN portal too
          

          
          Could be wonderful if we
              spend all effort in one direction.
          

            
          Thanks!

              Hi Marco,
                

                
                for the Swiss portal we used the multilingual
                  extension and because we only added data using
                  harvesters, we could add metadata in all languages,
                  without having to worry about a multilingual frontend
                  (with forms etc.). To transfer translations from one
                  CKAN instance to another, we build a special
                  "translation harvester", that basically exposes the
                  term_translation table via API and thus allows to
                  harvest this data (see https://github.com/ogdch/ckanext-transharvest).
                

                
                BUT: we are now in the middle of re-building the
                  swiss portal, and we will use ckanext-fluent this
                  time. We think it is the way to go, especially because
                  it extends the API. We are still at the beginning of
                  this new development, but I'll keep you posted about
                  our progress and how we actually do it. It's very well
                  possible, that we figure out that ckanext-fluent does
                  not (yet) work the way we want. But the idea would be
                  to improve it, instead of inventing something
                  completely different/new.
                

                
                Hope this helps!

                        Not sure what you mean by fluent not being
                          available by the API. That's the whole point
                          of ckanext-fluent, strings are replaced with
                          objects containing all languages.

                          

                        
                        fluent isn't yet the easiest to use, you do need
                        to modify your solr schema and before_index
                        calls to index the multilingual fields properly.

                        

                      
                      The other multilingual project I'm aware of is the
                      European Commission one under development but I
                      don't think they have released any code yet.

                                  We need to migrate our CKAN 2.2
                                    to a multilingual scenario (Italian,
                                    German, English)
                                  

                                  
                                  I have seen a couple of CKAN
                                    (Swiss and Canada) supporting
                                    multiple language non only with
                                    string traslation, but also enabling
                                    somehow to insert metadata in
                                    multiple language.
                                  

                                  
                                  The most documented one is the
                                    Canadian hereafter, . 
                                  https://github.com/open-data/ckanext-fluent
                                  

                                  
                                  It has some limitation
                                    (multilingual is not available by
                                    API) but is a very nice work.
                                  

                                  
                                  Is there something more out
                                    there? Anybody maybe from Open Data
                                    Swiss? I see that they are doing
                                    something similar.
                                  Anything about this is available
                                    in 2.4 or future releases?
                                  

                                  
                                  Thanks!
