Custom template reduces usability #6

I tested this plugin with a project of ours that is currently under development. Since it is a public facing application we have a totally custom template and do not include the CakePHP CSS files.

When I navigate to /admin/translate/ it looks like this:

custom-template

It seems the plugin does not provide its own default template nor other styling, thus the whole view is rendered in the front facing template which is not optimized for the plugin.

Depending on the custom styling of the application it could look worse.

Wouldn't it make sense to either include a default template with custom styling or provide instructions on what needs to be styled to make the life of an integrator easier?

Jep, we should go one way. I guess the latter sounds better as it feels more native to the actual app it gets implemented in.
