I have enabled field translation on several content types (Articles, Blog Entries). All have the "Promote to front page" flag enabled. I also have a welcoming post marked "Sticky".

The following behavior is observed:

  • The front page shows only the latest posts in the original language. When switching to the non-default language, the front page is empty (I am prompted to create new content, as in a fresh Drupal installation).
  • The sticky post is not shown when the languages is switched, even though I have translated it.
  • Built-in blocks such as "most recent blog posts" only show posts if the language is the default, despite the fact that translated blog entries exist.

In addition, even though I have not enabled filtering of comments by language (I want all comments to appear at once and don't mind if someone responds to a comment in a different language), only the comments that match the UI language are shown.

I have configured language detection by path and "select content by language" is also enabled.

Could someone point out what I might be doing wrong?

Thank you

Hate to bump, but if someone has run into the same issues as I have (and possibly knows the answer), please let me know.

For anyone who might be interested, I circumvented the issue by replacing:

  • the default front page listing with a basic page plus a block view
  • the page content in place of the sticky post
  • the recent blog posts with another block view

This is not how things are supposed to work. Have you installed i18n Multilingual content? It does not play well with ET.

I do have i18n Multilingual content installed. I am seeing the same thing happen, but it looks like "page" content shows up, but "article" content does now. Not sure if that will help or not.

Unfortunately ET and Multilingual content are not compatible.

Similar issue here. Fresh install with Drupal 7.22 + i18n 1.8 + entity translation 1.0-beta2 + page title

Enabled Dutch, French + English, but only the English home page shows the basic page that has been promoted to the home page.
It seems to work when Multilingual select module is disabled.(Multilingual content can be left enabled)

Fair enough: #1852102: Clarify that Multilingual Content (i18n_node) and ET are not compatible.
