I'm using DataGridField to display some technical data on a pdf - wich i generate using reportlab's pdf generator. this special contenttype has 5 datagridwidgets, 3 of them are language independent. if you translate an object, i noticed that the language independent fields are displayed correctly, but the others are displaying the wrong data if you enter the side-by-side view from linguaplone. left column should display data of the orginal object, but it shows the values of the translated object.
Steps to reproduce:
install linguaplone 0.9, datagridwidget 1.5 and use the demo types to reproduce.

i spend some time into this and recognized that the widget does not use the canonical context. so i replaced context with context.getCanonical() in datagridwidget.pt for the view macro and this works for me :-)

I am preparing a DGF release 1.6. Can you please submit patch for this? Looks like context doesn't have method getCanonical (no LinguaPlone) installed. Is this the case?

I don't see any of the standard archetypes widgets using context.getCanonical. In fact, searching for Canonical in the Products.Archetypes code returns no search results. So I don't think this is something that can be fixed in DataGridField; the widget should be called with the correct context.

Hm, actually, I see that the archetypes widgets usually call the 'accessor' which is available, where we have 'field.getAccessor(context)()'. If I use accessor instead everything seems to work on edit and view, both with and without LinguaPlone, and both on the canonical object and a translation.

Fixed on trunk in r11628.
