drupal_cms_google_analytics 2.2.0

Drupal CMS 2.2.0 ships with a number of upgrades, including first-class support for multilingual sites.

Multilingual support

We've upgraded the language selection from a simple select list to a modal with a search function, and some other minor visual improvements.

Finding your language in the installer

The first thing you'll notice is the language selector in the installer. Instead of scrolling through a long select list, you can now start typing and search for your language.

It's a small change, but the installer is the first impression anyone gets of Drupal CMS. Hunting for your language in a list of more than 100 options was not a great start.

Recipe config is now translated

Recipes can now include translatable configuration, so the configuration they provide is translated along with the rest of the site. This capability is planned for Drupal core, but is done using contrib modules until that is completed.

The multilingual recipe

Drupal CMS now provides a multilingual recipe to simplify the setup process,

• Installs the required modules and applies the basic language settings
• Provides a multilingual setup checklist to guide you through the remaining steps
• Modifies the content translation settings page to make it more intuitive, including a 'Recommended setup' option that enables translation for the entities most commonly translated (node types, Canvas pages, menu links and taxonomy terms).

Translating Canvas pages

Canvas now fully supports translation and we're using Canvas Translate to provide the translation management within the canvas editor. You can translate any component on a page, and use the Canvas preview to see how the translated version will look before you publish it.

Using the Canvas Translate AI module, you can also get AI-generated translations with one click: either for all components, or individually.

Updated recipe architecture

We have modified the architecture of our foundational recipes, bundling all of the core functionality into the drupal_cms_site_template_base recipe. By adding this recipe to your site template, you will not only get the recommended Drupal CMS setup, but you will benefit from upstream improvements and fixes.

Optional add-ons for AI tools, forms, search, accessibility tools and Google Analytics are still shipped as separate recipes.
