How to use required fields on localised entries? I'm building a multi-lingual site and have found Craft's locales / translatable fields useful for setting up structures where each page will have a translated version. However, for at least one of the Channel sections it would make more sense to have separate entries for each locale, rather than having each entry being translatable and appearing in all locales.

This seems doable by disabling all but one of the locales on each entry in the section, but the problem I'm having is that if an entry has required fields, I can't save it if these fields are empty, even if they're only empty in a locale that I'm trying to disable. (eg. I want to have a Spanish-only post, but when I try to disable the English version I can't save the post because the English version has required fields that aren't filled in...)

It seems I either have to make my required fields non-required, or fill them with spurious stuff in the locale I want to disable. I'm sure there must be a way of making required fields work with multi-lingual posts, but I can't figure out quite how... I'd be grateful for any pointers here!
I don't know if you re-use the fields you're using in that channel in other sections and if you do, my suggestion might not work for you, but here's what you could do:

Set all fields to be "not translatable" and if content is entered in one locale it will get synced to all locales. Thereby all required fields will always be filled out and disabling individual "dummy versions" is no problem any more.
