Issues with Term Reference and Multilingual Taxonomy

Question

The issue:

• We have a multilingual Drupal 7 website which allows users access to a content type e.g. Blog - where they can use /node/add/blog and node/*/edit in their chosen language

• A taxonomy has been created called category which has been set to 'Localize' under MULTILINGUAL OPTIONS >> Translation mode

• Terms listed under category have been translated to FR, DE, NL etc.
• On the content_type Blog - a term reference has been set up to reference the category taxonomy, with a select list widget being used.
• When visiting e.g. www.multilingual-site.com/node/add/blog (default site language is EN) - the dropdown list shows all the terms.
• When visiting e.g. www.multilingual-site.com/fr/node/add/blog or any other language e.g. /de/ or /nl/ etc the dropdown list is blank - the translated terms do not appear.

In an attempt to create the option list ourselves - using hook_form_alter() with taxonomy_get_tree($vid) as suggested here https://drupal.stackexchange.com/a/64666/5253 - when trying to dpm the output the array is empty for every language other than the default EN.

Can anyone offer any direction? Thanks

Turns out we needed to unselect 'Select taxonomy terms by language' - found admin/config/regional/i18n/select - hope this helps someone. More reading at: https://drupal.org/node/1868418 #2
