Problem/Motivation

When looking at #3150364: Add a description for the language toolbar button to the CKEditor help page I was thinking why isn't this just enabled by default when you know authors are working with multiple languages. Obviously, unilingual sites may also have a need to embed fragments of text in other languages in them, but it is probably more common for sites that obviously are fully engaging in more than one language.

Why not simplify the process?

I was looking at this as part of the We4Authors Cluster which is looking to improve the accessibility of the authoring interface. More information about this is here - https://accessibilitycluster.com/authoringTool/

Proposed resolution

Let's just enable the Language button in CKEditor for all multilingual sites.

Remaining tasks

Write the code

User interface changes

No changes would be needed

API changes

We've got the implementation of this coded, it just needs to be enabled by default https://accessibilitycluster.com/main-results/change-language

Would make sense for both unilingual sites and multi-lingual sites.

Version: 10.0.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.
