Policy for translators

Marc Boon	Monday 10 April 2006 8:19:55 am I tried to setup a user policy for translators, which are allowed to translate existing objects, but not modify the original language. So far without success. These are the policies for the Translator role: user login no limitations content read Section(Standard) content translate Section(Standard) content translations no limitations The problem is that the user can not get into translating mode, because for the Translate button to be visible, you have to be in Edit mode first, and I don't want to allow editing of the original language content by translators, they shouldonly be allowed to translate, preferably only into a specific language. How to do this?

Marc Boon	Wednesday 12 April 2006 4:40:30 am I installed 3.8.0beta1, update the database by running the mysql update scripts, but I have problem running the update/common/scripts/updatetranslations.php script (from w2k commandline). It says: Siteaccess was not given or does not exist. Exiting... How do I specify the siteaccess? Do I have to run the script for all siteaccess, including admin? FIXED: I didn't have ezpublish in my PHP include path. Now the script works.

I tried to setup a user policy for translators, which are allowed to translate existing objects, but not modify the original language. So far without success.
These are the policies for the Translator role:

user      login      no limitations
content  read       Section(Standard)
content  translate       Section(Standard)
content  translations  no limitations

The problem is that the user can not get into translating mode, because for the Translate button to be visible, you have to be in Edit mode first, and I don't want to allow editing of the original language content by translators, they shouldonly be allowed to translate, preferably only into a specific language.
How to do this?
