MULTILINGUAL WEBSITE
CHALLENGE
1. As an international organization, you need to
translate your content (web, documents,
software) to successfully expand globally
2. However, your content is constantly being
changed and updated
3. Legacy tools and processes for managing
translation lack the speed and agility to
prevent translation from becoming a
bottleneck
4. As a result, translations constantly lag behind
the rate at which new content is created

TM
TROUBLE SPOTS IN
DRUPAL 7 TRANSLATION
1.Many things not
translatable in core
2.English was the only
true source language

TM
Drupal 7  
Multilingual Landscape

TM
Drupal 7 Taxonomy Translation:  
i18n vs. Entity Translation
1.Both Young
2.Both Active
3.Who Wins?

TM
FAN FAVORITE: FIELD
COLLECTIONS
1.Fun to set up
2.Easy to work with
3.Notoriously fragile to translate

TM
EASIEST WAY TO MAKE D7
MULTILINGUAL-READY
1.Use Lingotek Translation
2.Use the following drush commands:
1.drush dl lingotek
2.drush en lingotek
3.https://www.drupal.org/project/
