I18N Special Pages

Interesting, it works for me.
Make sure that you use the name (1st column in the settings) of the field, not the label. It is case sensitive and you should best just use lower case letters - no blanks.
The result false means that the default was used - if you want the value itself, use return_special_field.

Thanks Martin for hints. The most important was the reason why I was getting false value.
Despite loosing so much time trying to find out, why I was getting errors with alphanumeric names (I dropped using chars like -_ ,even uppercase letters), but it wasn't the cause of problems with rendering. I was just going to edit earlier post, as I have solved the problem recently.
Seems that custom search rendering through a component won't work with special pages.
After I switched to builtin' search result code, and tweaked the output code, results were shown as supposed, along with all custom fields I wanted.

To summarize:
1. cumstomfield's name should consist only of small letters - no other chars
2. custom rendering should be done with special page's search result code - no custom search rendering through component

After solving the main problem, I've run into another.
I'd like to show also a shortened list of special pages in a sidebar. But they should consist only of header, and excerpt (taken from special field). After I invoke search function in template with tag=_special_category items list was rendered with custom search code mentioned earlier.
What would be the best method to get other formatting for a shortened list?
The only way I see now, is to add additional tag to every page (let's say news), and invoke search function with tag=news through ... custom component :\
And all the fun starts again from the beginning.


edit: I've also noticed that special page's are not added to sitemap.
Shouldn't they be ?
