Internationalizing Plone News
In a previous article, I introduced the problem with some of Plone's slots with I18N contents. My last posting provided a fix for portlet_events; now, I tackle the news.
This requires customization of two objects: portal_skins/plone_portlets/news_slot, and
portal_skins/plone_templates/news:
news_slot
<!-- customized for internationalization -->
<html xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"
