That's much too often to bother the translators not working on such content. The front page should only need updating when its own content is changed. > Currently we show the 6 latest news.

I believe we have, or had, a feature to only translate the news item title, but that seems misleading to the visitors. > It would be nice if get_recent_list (which is used for getting the > lastest news or security items) could take a list of file names, and > not only the latest N items. How about a front page tag in the news items themselves? That's assuming that the hand-picking is taking place when the news file is added. I don't know how get_recent_list works, but if it can read more tags then that might be the easiest solution, as it for front page use could skip items lacking the tag, and the translator workflow would be unchanged. -- Regards, Kaare
