I'm not entering anything into the text editor on those pages, but unless I'm missing something, you at LEAST have to do what I did to make the system remove that message.

      Go to plugins and disable "Joomfish - Missing_translation". I don't know if it is a proper way of doing it or not but it works just fine.

    • Hi Brian,

      That shouldn't really be the case, do you have a language set to default in the joomla language manager? There should be no warnings on the default language.

      Hi mjjn,

      If you want to change the action when there is a translation missing you can go into the joomfish contorl panel and click on parameters (top right).
      There you can tell it to display the "no translations found" message, nothing at all, or the original.

    • yes, I set a default language (english). As soon as I did that originally, every html module and every article put up a no translation found message.

      Are you saying I can tell Joomfish that it only needs the SECOND language translation to be published, and the primary would be english?

    • Yes,

      I've never known that to happen to be honest.

      I started a site tonight, added joomfish, then a few languages. I set the languages to published in joomfish but didn't touch anything else.

      I put a couple of articles in as normal and didn't touch the translations. The result is this:

      www.search-friendly-web-design.com/sandbox/peter/

      The original article displays as normal, any extra languages give the no translations available warning.

    • Maybe I missed a step...but to clarify again, when you go into your list of stuff in Joomfish, is NOTHING published in the English (United Kingdom) list, I mean, nothing has green checks? That's what I had when I got the errors, so I went into the english versions of each, chose to publish them and basically pasted the titles and aliases into the fields provided (but left the main contents alone).

    • Exactly,

      If I go into Joomfish -> Translations, select 'english' and 'contents' then there is just 2 columns of red icons for 'state' and published.

      Maybe something to check, when the site language has a default language then in the joomfish language configuration there should be no checkbox to the left of the name column for the default language.

      I'm not sure what else it could be. There is a feature in the 'manage translations' tab that allows you to copy the original to a language, but then everytime you write a new article you would have to copy it over. I think this is the mistake I made when I first tried to use joomfish.

    • Just my 2 cents (experience with JF)...

      When you set the default language and you are ready to translate into another language, you should choose the language you want to translate to, not the default language.

      In my case, the site is in Japanese, so when I select Japanese, I get the same...
      2 columns of red icons for 'state' and published

      However, when I choose English, I get a list of whatever I have chosen with the Japanese listed as the original language, and the have the option to translate.

      When first starting with JF, the process seems counter intuitive, but once you get used to the work flow is rather simple.

    • Aha, for some reason, when I first set it up, I must have gotten confused as to what caused the message to go away, but just now I unpublished all the English items in Joomfish, and everything still works. THanks guys, that's a lot less work than I thought :)

    • Okay, here's a WEIRD twist. On the panacea template, if I do NOT publish the stories in the rotator in BOTH languages, I get that message about there being no translations available. As soon as I publish both languages, it goes away. Weird.

      EDIT: I take that back, Menus area fine...but CONTENT...I get that error on every article if the English translations aren't published in Joomfish.
