Problem/Motivation

It is possible to make multilingual Image fields, with a different alt text, title text, and/or image for each installed languages. Feeds supports importing to single-language Image fields.

An administrator may wish to import different data into multilingual image fields; however, fields_et does not currently support this.

Proposed resolution

For each multilingual Image field, define separate targets for each installed language.

Note that File fields and Image fields have different machine names, and Image fields store additional data not stored in File fields, such as alt and title text. This implies that a solution for #1850930: Support multilingual File fields would not fully solve this issue, and vice-versa.

Remaining tasks

  1. Update issue summary and metadata
  2. Write initial patch
  3. Review and corrections (if necessary)
  4. RTBC
  5. Commit.

User interface changes

The list of targets in the feeds mapping screen would start showing a target for each installed language for multilingual File fields.

API changes

Unknown at this time.

Data model changes

No database or configuration changes anticipated at this time.

Original report by @MDJ Webdiensten

Image fields don't show up as multiple targets when set to translatable. It would be very useful in case you need a different image for each language. (When there's text inside in image)

Don't know if it's a bug or a feature request.

Since all other fields are supported, I'd consider this as a bug.

Marking #1850930: Support multilingual File fields as a related because Image fields are based upon File fields.

Note that File fields and Image fields have different machine names, and Image fields store additional data not stored in File fields, such as alt and title text. This implies that a solution for #1850930: Support multilingual File fields would not fully solve this issue, and vice-versa.

Title: Not working with image field » Support multilingual Image fields
Category: Bug report » Feature request

Marking as Feature request, because this functionality does not exist in the original module (if it did and was not functioning, that would suggest a bug; however that is not the case).

Updated the title to better indicate what feature is being requested.

Will update issue summary shortly.
