Hi,

• create a class with 1 attribute text line, call it "name"
• name pattern: <name>
• disable translation of the attribute.
• create an object of it in the default language (in my case german).
• try to create a translation e.g. in (my case) english, eng-GB.

content/edit/423/2/eng-GB

$node.name is empty. (expected: german version of $node.name)

Debug Output:
Notice: eZContentObject::versionLanguageName Jul 27 2007 12:40:00
There is no object name for version(1) of the content object (423) in language(eng-GB)

Best wishes,
Georg.
