Copying GridField data to translation

Hi All. I have a page in my website that has a dataobject (with about 65 database records added through a GridField in the CMS). After entering all the data, I installed the translatable module and added 3 languages. The entered data is only stored in the default language, the gridfield is empty in other languages.

How do I copy all the data to the different page languages? It's very tedious to re-enter them.

Hey Eligasht,

I solved this issue by switching over from SilverStripe Translatable to SilverStripe Fluent module: https://github.com/tractorcow/silverstripe-fluent

This translation mod proved to be much more flexible and user friendly than Translatable.
-> It provides translatable DataObjects feature out-of-the-box
-> When entering new records in a GridField, the record is created in all languages. You can then edit (translate) the content for the record per language
