feeds 7.x-2.0-beta2

YES! Feeds finally supports translation of fields using Entity translation! Also new in this release is support for updating existing items only and for the CSV parser an option is added to convert the character encoding of the CSV file to UTF-8.

No full translation support yet

For full translation support in Feeds, there is still work to be done. Feeds doesn't support the module "Content translation" yet; autocreating terms in the right language is not possible when not also the taxonomy reference field is multilingual; and the multilingual settings from i18n (like "Require language" or "Lock language") are not respected. You are encouraged to create follow-up issues (and hopefully fixes!) for them. See also #1183440: Multilingual Feeds - Make field import language-aware.

Contrib modules need adjusting to respect the mapping option "language".

An other important thing to note: now that Feeds support multilingual fields using Entity translation, modules that provide mapping targets for Feeds should adapt to respect the mapping option "language". Consult the change record for more information.
