Hi,

I'm new to Drupal and have taken over an existing site but now have to translate it into German!

I'm very stuck. I have read through the guides on languages but just can't seem to get my head round the way Drupal want's to handle translations.

I believe the necessary language modules have already been installed (I can see multilingual-internationalisation in modules) and I see options regarding languages referred to in the guides.

The only areas I seem to be able to translate to my desired languge are:

blocks
parts of the admin menu

I was able to translate a block on the homepage and viewed this by putting the language into the url ( this did result in the block disappearing from the homepage for the base language though!)

Can anyone please advise how I would go about translating all normal pages and other content types of which there is a lot - as I can't see any links to translate?

Hope someone can help, thanks.
