Multilingual/i18n

I think I found some clue to this problem.

I am using Tikiwiki v2.2 and the Tikipedia theme.

After I created a new Structure with tree list, then I began to edit one of those pages. I click the pagename and open the Editor, then I paste into some English texts. Next, I clicked the Save button.

After the page was saved, I think I should lock the English version because I only want other users to Translate it, not Edit it.

So I clicked the Lock button.

Now I noticed that the Translate button disappeared !!!

That is to say, if I create a page and lock it before set the language for that page, the Translate option/button will not show up anymore!!!

Don't you think this is a very bad design?

When I lock that page, I only want to prevent other people to edit it, NOT stop them to translate it. So why take away the Translate button?

In addition, why there is no option to set the language for a page when creating/editing it?

I think the Tiki team should improve this to make it more convenient for Multi-lingual feature.

Thanks.
