Problem/Motivation

  • As an administrator, the system supports a multilingual instance.
  • As an administrator, I can add / edit / remove languages from the multilingual instance. This is documented.
  • As an administrator, I can translate strings and labels on the website
  • As an administrator, I can translate configuration (e.g. content type fields, views, ...)
  • As an administrator, I can translate taxonomy terms
  • As an administrator, I can translate site settings
  • As an administrator, the system supports multilingual sitemaps
  • As a visitor of drupal.xx, I can switch the language of the website
  • The language switcher is accessible.
  • As a visitor, I can choose the language of the website with a language picker in the topmenu.
  • As a visitor with a visual or physical impairment, I can easily use the language picker
  • As a visitor, I can easily use the language picker with my reader
  • Proposal: As a site visitor, when I am viewing a page that is unavailable in a different language, then the language picker informs me that the translation is not available (e.g. greyed out and not selectable, or something similar)
  • As an editor, I can add translations for menu items in different languages
  • As an editor, I can add the same content in different languages so news items, pages, forms, events and cases can easily be shown in all available languages
  • As an editor, I can translate asymmetrically, meaning a translated node gets all the original content copied over, but can remove / add content in the translation at will, without interfering with the original node contents.
  • As an editor, I can translate all fields of all content types, unless there is an explicit reason why the field should not be translatable.
  • As an editor, I can add translations to content blocks
  • As a member, I can easily add translations for the events that I create
  • As a member, I can easily add translations for the texts on my profile
  • As a member, I get the automatic announcement and communication through the website in the language I prefer

Proposed resolution

Layout builder asymmetric translation: Layout Builder AT

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

Technical notes

  • Symmetric or Asymmetric translations?

Tested 2 of the child issues and they seem ready for merging.
Now the language switcher still needs to be implemented, before we can move forward with a multilingual website.
