Synchronize translations

This module synchronizes content taxonomy and fields accross translations:

First you need to select which fields should be synchronized. Then, after a node has been updated, all enabled vocabularies and fields will be synchronized as follows:

  • All the node fields selected for synchronization will be set to the same value for all translations.
  • For multilingual vocabularies, the terms for all translations will be replaced by the translations of the original node terms.
  • For other vocabularies, the terms will be just copied over to all the translations.

Note that permissions are not checked for each node. So if someone can edit a node and it is set to synchronize, all the translations will be synchronized anyway.

To enable synchronization check content type options to select which fields to synchronize for each node type.

The list of available fields for synchronization will include some standard node fields and all CCK fields. You can add more fields to the list in a configuration variable. See README.txt for how to do it.
