In fact, as time passing by, adding tags for each language per picture becomes quite heavy as soon as you have many tags and many pictures in the admin section. Besides, visiting your website, people see tags that they can't use because they don't understand them language.
That's why, imho it would have been great to get this feature in zp, in the smart way the multi-lingual fields are.
More, a kind of "super-tag" feature would be intersting to me, a sort of category for tags always used for every item in a gallery. For example, in a photo gallery, a photo would be a part of a category named "color photography" or "black-and-white photography".
Just some ideas, maybe not that relevant.
Thank you for ZP anyway.
I somehow see the sense behind the multilingual tags idea actually. If I have my site set to German it does not really makes sense to show tags in English, right?
A quick idea to stay compatible to our search engine with maybe saving a lot of work: We could add an extra db field to the tags table so you can attach any tag to a specific language. This could be done with a dropdown box maybe on the tags admin page. So we would have on that table then we could quite easily sort out the display (and the search) depending on the selected language.
An "album" is the Zenphoto equivalent to a "category". Categories and tags are two very different things IMO.
Yep! That's it for the multilingual tags!
About the category, the way I would need it is maybe too specific but your post gave me the idea to replace my "category" stuffs by simple dynamic albums as soon as a picture can belong to a "real" album and to several different dynamic albums.
So in my admin back office, I just would need some simple check boxes (like the way the tags are displayed)... Yeah ! Thank you !
