Phoca gallery - multi language setup
Posted: 07 Feb 2024, 20:40
I would like to use the Phoca Gallery in multiple languages without copying all the images multiple times.
I have a menu:
Photos (German)
- 2023
- 2022
Photos (English)
- 2023
- 2022
I have categories:
- 2023 (German)
- 2022 (German)
- 2023 (English)
- 2022 (English)
This way I can use the Joomla menu control to give the individual categories in each language the meta description and the page goal.
I then saved images to the "2023" folder and set the language of each image to "all". Unfortunately I have to select a parent category and here I can select either 2023 (German) or 2023 (English), so that the images are only displayed in one language. I am forced to copy all the images and assign them to the other parent category. It would be nicer to assign the images to both categories, i.e. 2023 (German) and 2023 (English), so that they only have to be saved once on the server.
Am I doing something wrong? Can PhocaGallery do that and I just don't know how? Can this be retrofitted?
