Dear Magnus,

There is an excellent alternative to GeoExplorer, which will hopefully be integrated
as standard viewer soon:

https://github.com/geosolutions-it/geonode-mapstore-client <https://github.com/geosolutions-it/geonode-mapstore-client>
https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/ <https://mapstore.geo-solutions.it/mapstore/>

Haven´t tested but it should work when using:
https://github.com/GeoNode/django-osgeo-importer <https://github.com/GeoNode/django-osgeo-importer>
as Uploader.

As far as I know not out of the box. But it shouldn´t be too hard to customize
geonode_project to work like this.
https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode-project <https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode-project>

It does with Mapstore2 as Viewer ...

Should work like this with GeoExplorer (this is the Viewer you might have tested)
as well. Anyways, see the preceding  answer :)

Not reported by anyone yet.

Well, this should definitely work. Unfortunately, this can have several reasons starting with 
your data import to geoserver. For things like that you´re always welcome to file an issue at Github.

It is not, unfortunately, Transifex is outdated and people who contribute to translations are very welcome.


With best regards,
