Hi,

Yes, this is possible programatically.

To set the language as spanish, first do :

eZContentObject::setDefaultLanguage( $language );

Then create your objetct (code taken from the forum, to create a folder) :

$folderClassID=1;
  
  $class =& eZContentClass::fetch( $folderClassID );
  $folderContentObject =& $class->instantiate( $user->id(), $sectionID );
  
  // Create a node for the object in the tree.
  $nodeAssignment =& eZNodeAssignment::create( array(
                         'contentobject_id' => $folderContentObject->attribute( 'id' ),
                         'contentobject_version' => 1,
                         'parent_node' => $userNodeID,
                         'sort_field' => 2, //Published
                         'sort_order' => 1, //Descending
                         'is_main' => 1));
  $nodeAssignment->store();
    
  // Set a status for the content object version
  $folderContentObjectVersion =& $folderContentObject->version($folderContentObject->attribute( 'current_version' ) );
  $folderContentObjectVersion->setAttribute( 'status', EZ_VERSION_STATUS_DRAFT);
  $folderContentObjectVersion->store();

  // Set the title of the folder.
  $folderContentObjectAttributes =& $folderContentObjectVersion->contentObjectAttributes();
  foreach ($folderContentObjectAttributes as $folderAttribute)
  {
    // Each attribute has an attribute called 'identifier' that identifies it.    

    if ($folderAttribute->attribute("contentclass_attribute_identifier") == "title")
    {
      $folderAttribute->setAttribute("data_text",$folderTitle);
      $folderAttribute->store();
    }
  }
      
  // Now publish the object.
  $operationResult = eZOperationHandler::execute( 'content', 'publish',
                          array( 'object_id' => $folderContentObject->attribute( 'id' ),
                                 'version' => $folderContentObject->attribute('current_version' ) ) );
  
  return;

Finally, reset the language to english :

eZContentObject::setDefaultLanguage( $defaultLanguage );

Hope it helps.

I believe something like this is under development for a future version.

That's the main issue of the current multilanguage implementation... I think this is going to be addressed before 4.0 (3.8 or 3.7), don't remember, with the suppression of the so-called default language.
