Restricting editors to a specific translation?

Greetings; I am running a multi-lingual setup of eZ consisting of English (US), English (UK), German, and Japanese. Each language is bound to a particular siteaccess by domain name (e.g., foo.de = German, foo.co.jp = Japanese) with English (US) being the default/fall-back language.

Is it possible to limit editors in the CMS interface to be able to edit only a specific translation for a content object? For example, I setup a login for a German translator. I do want him to be able to alter the contents of the German translation but not be able to directly edit the other translations.

The one problem I see is if the German translator needs to create a new object that has yet to be translated into English (US). For the record, I am running 3.6.

Cheers.

You cannot limit your translators to only one language. If they have the right to edit content, they can do so in all languages.

What you can do is create three different admin interfaces, each with another default language, but this does not block your translatord from editing other languages.

It's not possible with eZ 3.6, but it is possible with 3.8.
