Though Drupal 6.x has some built-in multilingual support, not everything is yet multilingual/translatable. This package tries to fill the gaps that still exist to build multilingual sites with Drupal. In the collection, each module addresses a specific functionality. The main features provided by these modules are the following:

General features

  • Multilingual variables
  • Translatable user defined strings: Menu items, taxonomy content type names and descriptions, etc...
  • Language selection: Only content in the selected language is displayed for each page view.
  • Several selection modes are available for content, meaning you can have node lists for only the current language, for current and default languages, all languages, etc.
  • Profile: Translates profile field names and descriptions in every language
  • Polls: Provides an aggregated view and results block for votes in all languages
  • Some, still limited, Views and CCK support

Multilingual Taxonomy

  • Language can be set up for vocabularies or terms, or terms can be localized
  • Both multilingual vocabularies with terms in multiple languages and single-language vocabularies can be created
  • Translations can be defined between terms in different languages
  • Taxonomy term synchronization can be defined per vocabulary for translations
  • Taxonomy term translation can be done using localization for selected vocabularies
