Language toggle buttons on the edit pages

[donald]

Edit pages now have buttons to toggle languages on or off. On our site,bBy default, all languages are switched off. It is unclear to me, whether this is a bug or a wrong setting ( see https://github.com/infoportugal/wagtail-modeltranslation/issues/287 )

We could probably make "en" on by default somehow, but wouldn't this hide the "de" pages to much?

I could modify the code to have all languages on by default, which would mimics the layout as our editors are used to, but this would required a patch which is difficult to maintain (= may break on any update, as seen with the Snippet Chooser hack).

So maybe we just disabled this completely? Or is it something you have been waiting for? The author said, if can be disabled by config, but I didn't find that. Anyway, even a patch-away patch would be easier to maintain than a patch added functionality.

I really like that we can select or deselect certain languages! But the administrative secretariat was pretty irritated. But now they know how to deal with it.

A default setting toggle would be ideal (to show all fields as a default), but a simple text in the blank space ("Please choose your language in the top right corner / Bitte rechts oben Sprache auswählen") would do, too. Is this too much of a patch?

Things changed a bit: As a side effect of #92, now "en" is by default switched on. The current code doesn't allow multiple languages to be switched on by default. I can code that in, but this takes a bit more time. "A simple text in the blank space" might not be as trivial as it sounds, because one has to understand the complex dynamic layout structure to put something somehwere. A little javascript snippet to switch everything on might even be easier. It somehow depends on whether we want to do a clean solution or a quick hack.

Btw: If you somehow could assign priorities to the issues, it would be easier for me to decide, what to work on next when I find spare time. Just point to the single "most important open issue". Are you allows to set labels on issues?

I don't think it is urgently necessary to change anything.

No, but having that ability would certainly be useful ...

Are you allows to set labels on issues?

Can't you just give me these permissions?

Added you as a collaborator. This should do it, but I'm not sure.

[ballaschk]

seems to work just fine.
