Translation - interface for translators

Hi,

I've got my site running in three languages, using the siteaccess methods mentioned in the documentation. So far, I've posted the english (primary language) versions, and added the translations I have using the method described at http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/day_to_day_use/translate_content

I'd like to be able to give certain users the ability to translate documents (and possibly only documents in certain sections), but that's all I want them to do - I don't want them to have access to the rest of the admin interface, or to create their own content (ideally). How can I do this? I presume I need to create some templates that identify if they're a translator or not, and then give them the 'manage translations' stuff if so.

I've tried adding a translator user with the content/translate permissions, but since they don't have admin rights, they can't access the admin interface and do it that way.

Is there an easy solution? I can't believe I'm the only one needing this. Apologies if I've missed something; I have been trawling the forums and documentation for the past few hours on this one!

Thanks in advance,
Simon

OK,

I can now get the translator user to log in (for some other reason, despite being configured in the site.ini file, the PolicyOmitList[] settings weren't effective. Having added the user permission explicitly to my Translator role, they can now log in to the admin section).

PolicyOmitList[]=user/login
PolicyOmitList[]=user/logout

My question now is - what are the minimum permissions required to be able to translate? I can't find any documentation describing what the various permission levels and modules actually do from a user perspective. Having granted only content/read and content/translate, I can't get to the translate panel. I guess that means I have to grant content/edit as well? This is not exactly ideal - I'd rather they couldn't edit the original primary text.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Simon
