A node reference is empty, although the multilingual support is enabled, and the node is translated

Question

I just created a multilingual site (English-French) using Drupal 7 with the module Internationalization 7.x-1.4.
Everything is working fine except with the module References 7.x-2.0. For instance, I created a content type "School" so that each user is affiliated to a school (User A --> School 1, User B --> School 2, etc.), meaning I simply added a node reference to "School" in the user account settings. But here is the problem: if a user chooses a school on the English version of the site it won't remember the school choice on the French version (the node reference becomes empty) and vice versa.

How do I solve this?

I did enable the multilingual support for "School" with translation.

Answer 2

The problem is that a node reference can only reference content in the same language. What you need to do is provide a translation of the school node in both English and French in order for both sides to see it. Also dont forget to clear cache.

Answer 3

You may try entity reference module,and the problem will be fixed.
