I just played around with Silverstripe 2.3.2-rc2 and Translatable enabled. Translating pages really works nice with this RC - but translating pages is still a lot of work... you have to manually create translations for each Locale / Language .. after some translations you will go nuts...
So - i am a lazy cms author but a hard-working coder - here are some CMS Batch Actions to make translating pages easier...
Pleae keep in mind: this beta code snippet is just tested (a little bit) against 2.3.2-rc2 - it might not work on older releases .
Please try, improve and let me now.
