- 3. First of all... Themain purpose of this talk: translating the interface of Drupal and its modules. ➔ Present the current infrastructure/process ➔ Where we are for D8 support ➔ Make the work of the translators easier, and more recognized Localization aka l10n This is about translating the content of your Drupal site.

- 5. It all startedwith the t() function These source strings are extracted from Drupal and its modules using Potx and are grouped into *.po source files. $text = t( "@name's blog", array('@name' => format_username($account)), array('context' => 'Verb') );
- 6. Then translate asany open source project does... These .po source files can be translated with any Translation editor (e.g. POEdit or https://localise.biz/free/poeditor) and imported back in your Drupal site to be stored in locale_sources and locale_target tables. Another option is to use the l10n_client module to directly edit the translations on your site.
- 7. But we area community, so we have localize.d.o This site executes Potx on every release that is made on Drupal.org, and offers a tool far more performant and flexible than a single editor: ● cross releases translations ● cross projects translations ● multiple translation groups handling ● translations reviews ● automatic downloads of translation on your site using the l10n_update module or Drupal 8 core (yay!)

- 20. On the Drupalsite side, it’s gettings better (l10n_update), but: ■ Localization community needs more recognition We need gamification by statistics, badges, ... ■ Infrastructure handling more and more strings Need to archive old data, be able to identify old strings, improve search performance ■ Translation interface needs a revamp Why not translate in apps like l10n_client? ■ The community aspects needs a push Activity streams, glossary handling
- 21. An example: Transifex ■Dead-simple interface (AJAX) ■ Fast, visual search ■ Suggestions, history, glossary, comments on strings ■ Mass review, search & replace ■ Activity stream, announcements
- 22. Glossary ■ Currently anexternal French site ■ Votes on glossary suggestions ■ Exported via JSON ■ Displayed on localize.drupal.org
