Bilingual Tags from the Post Editor

    Hello!

    I understand that as an admin, I am able to provide translations for existing tags.

    However, I wanted to know if it was possible to provide bilingual texts when creating/editing a new post – i.e. I write up the post in language 1, add some tags, switch to the tab of language 2, enter the translation of the post and translations of the tags I entered in language 1. The goal would be that my website’s authors have an easy way of translating their own tags and don’t need to visit another page after they have published their posts.

    Edit: I just found out that to access the “Edit Tags” page, on which the Sublanguage translations can be entered, one has to have the capability “manage_post_tags” which the standard author roles does not have :/

    Thanks in advance!
    Best Regards

    Hello,

    Firstly, unlike the “category” taxonomy, the “tags” taxonomy is set untranslatable by default. To make it translatable just go in settings>sublanguages and check the “Tags” checkbox after “Translate taxonomies”.

    Currently there is no way to create directly a tag with both languages in the post edit screen. If you are a developer it’s totally possible to create a custom box with a custom user interface to implement it, but keep in mind the post editor screen is going to be completely redesigned in next big wp version.

    The tag cloud will display all the tags, not just the translated ones. The untranslated tags will just be in the main language.
