You can not have same Album Internet address for two languages ...

But Gallery3 itself knows well what languadge user prefers.

As in this link:
http://www.marktim.ru/photo/index.php/MARK/Times

The gallery perfectly swich languages and names and even virtual album listings

Mark,

I understand your point of view...

There are two thing:
1. Auto generating internet address from Title
2. Having the same internet address for two item.

1st one, you might not like it... but that's an useful feature for most

2nd one, lets say somehow the module allows you to enter same internet address for English(US) as well i.e. Finmann in above case

now google crawls your page http://www.marktim.ru/photo/index.php/PUBLIC/Travel/Finmann for indexing
In what language Google should receive the content?
The very purpose of having multiple languages is to allow publisher to publish content in different locale with different URLs so that the end user ends up in right page for his keyword, rather than in default language page...

Let me know what's opinion of above.

My standpoint was user's, not crawler's case.
Say, Finmann Bay interesting for Norwegian, mostly english-speaking. They go to page, look at picture, then at some moment look for text and swich language, still viewing same Album. etc.

In your case what if I change or rename photos, reassemble another Albums structure?

And, if totally agreed with you $;) how can I make this links work? Should I make it thru FTP on site or they can be created (semi)automatically?
Why just not create another site for another language? It'll be simpler... Isn't?

Mark,

I will consider your point of view too and see how your needs also get fulfilled ...

However note that this is designed to benefit the publisher in their SEO effort

Hello gopu!

After additional testing and reading thru discussion branch I finally agreed what you mean with your strong position.
So additional language tree of albums and files stored by multilang3 in db table with only item ID common with G3 items.
Actual troubles in my case was "Internet Adress" dialog field.

For some reason (I can't trace why) I was lucky to point both langs for one place:
i.e.
http://www.marktim.ru/photo/index.php/PUBLIC
and
http://www.marktim.ru/photo/index.php/MARK
and root of albums
works fine with any lang settings while stored localised names and descriptions.

Troubles arose because after some sucsesses, string in "Internet Adress" field stored, but not possible to navigate (404).

So my QUESTION is:
1. Is it permitted by architecture of Multilingual plugin just disable duplicate paths check (for my own risks)?
2. Why and when (what actions to avoid) the plugin behaviour was broken? (probably)

Thank you

For any reason if you get 404 (without altering the DB) by multilang module, it's bug - which needs to be fixed.
It should never show (generate) any URL which it can not render....
So please let me know how can I reproduce to be able fix it

No... this is what can be done in next version:
Allow you to not enter Internet Address for Album, in which case it will use the album name from default item table

Thank you.

I cannon reproduce it clear, but it seems that main album and 1st level albums can be in same "Internet Adress".

This is clear newly installed g3 and ml3 and new clear database:
http://www.marktim.ru/photo/index.php/first
I suppose that later errors...

I Found it. After multilang edit you can edit item in g3 so begun troubles and misconsistence of records

Ok, I think it is all nice what I read here, and I do need something like this.
But call me stupid. In this topic you all talk about the TAG module..
Without this TAG module it can't work..

I visit http://codex.gallery2.org/Category:Gallery_3:Modules

And find these TAG modules

Gallery3:Modules:tag albums
Gallery3:Modules:tag cloud
Gallery3:Modules:tag cloud page
Gallery3:Modules:tag graph
Gallery3:Modules:tag it
Gallery3:Modules:tagfaces
Gallery3:Modules:tagsinalbum
Gallery3:Modules:tagsmap

Which TAG module are you people talking about??

When I have a look in my admin-Modules section I see 2 tags lines:

Thank you very much for your answer

Yours,
Tes

It's the tag module that comes as part of Core modules. The folder name is tag.
By default it will be there if you have not deactivated.
