Description

There are some usability issues with 3.0 (as of 3.0beta1), reproducible in the TikiLiveCD (at least from the upgrade process of a 1.9.11 to 3.0beta1)

See the bugs and issues reproduced at the video in:
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/TikiWiki+3

In summary:
There is a set of three pages which are translations of the same content: ca, es, en. You want them to be set as a translation set, and work with them. As far as I remember, there are some issues:

  1. You cannot add them to the same translation set until you select "Restrict languages", and select some (or all) languages in the restriction rule. However, by default it should list all languages while attempting to translate a page to a new language.
  2. You need to define your language preferences first. It would be much more usable if asked to the user, at registration time, this (and similar questions), to make his/her life easier (from the usability point of view)
  3. quantify page change is broken. The video cited above you'll see that the en page is added some more content. then the es page is updated to a complete translation, and marked as such. And the ca page is translated only partially, and marked as such by the user, but Tiki shows as if it was 100% similar to the en page.
