Hello. I'm trying to understand how Drupal handles site translation. I've installed and enabled the following modules:

  • Internationalization
  • Localization Update
  • Localization Client
  • Variable

As well as all of the submodules in the Internationalization suite. Do these or other modules allow for automatic translation? What I would like is to create an 'article' node in English and have Drupal automatically create and translate (specifically the 'body' content) in another language. Is this possible? What do you recommend? Thank you!

Not possible. The best you could do would be tie into some online translator, but the translations that online translators put out is notoriously bad. Technology has still not reached the point where it can accurately translate language.
