Hi, I've a question about the frontend. Is it possibile to translate virtuemart products, directly from the frontend? I've authorized publishers and above to translate the site in joomfish config, and I am able to edit almost anything from the frontend, switching between a language and another, except for virtuemart products.
If I try to translate a virtuemart product from the frontend, i've noticed two different behaviours:
- for a product that hasn't been translated yet, it only changes its description in the default language of the site, regardless the one that is secelted at that moment. (eg. base language=english, additional language=german. I select german language and edit a product. When I save it, it changes its description as if i had selected english language and not german, and so i don't have a real translation, but it only changes the english description in a german one!)
- for a product that has already been translated (via the backend), if I try to edit it from the frontend in a language other than the default one, it overwrites the default description with the one just edited. (eg. I select german language and edit an already translated product. When I save it, the result is that i have german description in the english site as well).
Thank you anyway!
