Although Drupal 8 is still in its beta phase, there are numerous live multilingual sites built on it. Gábor Hojtsy presented all the features that the Drupal community worked on for the new release in an earlier webinar. However, there are a lot more exciting things in Drupal 8 other than the multilingual changes, and some are opening up whole new ways of doing things effectively even for sites with multiple languages. In this webinar, join Gábor Hojtsy of Acquia again to look into neat hacks to benefit multilingual site needs in part based on experiences from the above mentioned live sites. You'll learn more about: - Important site modeling tricks on the new version - Combining various Drupal 8 features into hacks to benefit multilingual site needs - Simple contributed modules (depending on availability)
