A very simple module which would allow you to show all/any comments attached to all node translations. Just a great way to communicate in truly multi-lingual environments.

For example I have node in English and Spanish. Drupal natural way would be to show comments for en/es translation separately (attached to en/es content). But i18n_comments will aggregate all English and Spanish comments for any translations. It doesn't matter if user will leave a comment to any node translation.

How to use:

- Works with Drupal core comment module (not nodecomment).

- Works with Drupal core localization/translation modules, doesn't require i18n to be present (but works fine with it too).

- Just enable the module. There are no settings.

Need help:

- Tested on a few very different D7 setups, but not perfect yet most probably, please do test it and submit any bugs.

- Might not make sense with Drupal forums, pleas submit your experiences.

Alternative approach

The Entity Translation module (http://drupal.org/project/entity_translation) provides a UI to the core built-in field translation system and therefore allows to translate nodes without having separate copies of the nodes. This results in shared comments for all translations. Single node solution is very suitable for cases like OG group nodes, drupal commerce and ubercart product nodes, etc.

Initial development was co-sponsored by IASO Records and noodorg - drupal themes.
