A page with the same or similar title exists

[mattis]

Hi everyone!
I have a WebsiteBaker site that has several languages.
A lot of the menu names will be that same inn all the languages. My problem is here that when I try to give the menu item the same name (Product1) in a different language I get the error: "A page with the same or similar title exists"
I need these menu items to all be on the root level.
Is there any way a menu item can have the same name in a different language?

Thanks for any help on this 

Cheers

Mattis

Hello,

we have a ticket on SVN wich i think points to the same:

http://project.websitebaker2.org/ticket/567

Problem is that WB generates in the pages dir a file. The filename has no special chars. So there is no possibility to have the same name. One of the benefits of WB are the search-friendly urls. To reach what you want one option ist to change the Urls like other cms to something like "...?page_id=2" or to add the page_id to the pagename "home1.php", "home2.php" .... . Both needs a rewriting of the WB core and I'm not shure if it is then compatible to existing versions.

Hi Mattis,

some ideas...

you could name your Products for example "EN-- Product 1", "FR-- Product 1" etc.

1st solution: configure ShowMenu2 a way, that not the menu title but the page title is displayed.

2nd solution: use the Frontend Filter. So to avoid that the language abbreviations occur in the navigation, you set up an frontendfilter which erases EN--, FR-- etc.

Disadvantage: The URLs to the pages look like yoursite.foo/pages/en--product-1.php, but if you can live with this...

3rd solution: build a"tidy" multilangual website with subdirectories for every language...
