INTRODUCTION

|
The Multilingual content module, part of the Internationalization
|
|
16
|
(https://www.drupal.org/project/i18n) package, provides extended multilingual
|
|
17
|
options for nodes. These options help accommodate a variety of translation
|
|
18
|
workflows by controlling how the language for nodes is set.
|
|
19
|
|
|
20
|
Note that the Multilingual content module lives in the i18n_node directory
|
|
21
|
in the Internationalization package. Don't confuse this module with the core
|
|
22
|
Content translation module.

INSTALLATION
|
|
51
|
------------
|
|
52
|
|
|
53
|
This is a submodule of the Internationalization module. Install the
|
|
54
|
Internationalization module as you would normally install a contributed Drupal
|
|
55
|
module. Visit https://www.drupal.org/node/895232 for further information.

CONFIGURATION
|
|
59
|
-------------
|
|
60
|
|
|
61
|
For each content type, the following Extended language options are available
|
|
62
|
under the Multilingual Settings tab.
|
|
63
|
1. "Set current language as default for new content" can be useful for content
|
|
64
|
that is community-generated.
|
|
65
|
2. "Require language" prevents users from creating 'Language neutral' nodes.
|
|
66
|
3. "Lock language" prevents users from changing the language of a node after
|
|
67
|
it's created.
|
|
68
|
|
|
69
|
Site-wide Settings for Node Translation
|
|
70
|
1. There are also site-wide settings provided to help streamline how
|
|
71
|
multilingual content is created. Navigate to Config > Regional and language >
|
|
72
|
Multilingual settings > Node Options.
|
|
73
|
2. "Switch interface for translating" switches the language of the user
|
|
74
|
interface to the chosen language when a user translates a node. This is
|
|
75
|
useful if users speak the language in which the translation is written. It
|
|
76
|
means that after the node translation is saved, the language of the UI will
|
|
77
|
match the language of the node.
|
|
78
|
3. "Hide content translation links" will prevent the language switcher links
|
|
79
|
from appearing in nodes and teasers. This is useful if a language switcher
|
|
80
|
block is enabled on the site.
|
|
81
|
4. The user can also select the default language for new nodes if the
|
|
82
|
corresponding content type doesn't have language support. By default, it is
|
|
83
|
set to be in the default language of the site, but this can be changed to be
|
|
84
|
language neutral. This is a useful option when thinking about forward
|
|
85
|
compatibility for adding multilingual support to these content types in the
|
|
86
|
future.
