I'm interested in using drupal as a CMS for a Canadian website. As such, I need to be able to provide two versions of most nodes: an english version, and a french version (ie, one is a simple translation of the other). It would be ideal if this was implemented at a level below the modules, so that mods wouldn't have to be language aware.
Does anyone have an idea how to (cleanly) implement this feature?
All content in Drupal is represented by nodes. Stories, static pages, forum topics, uploaded files, submitted links - all are nodes in general. These nodes vary from each other only in properties. But one type of content in Drupal, as far as i can see now, is not treated as node. It's user. Basically it's the same old content (information of the account), but with one unique property - the ability to create other types of nodes.
So i'm leading to the idea of expanding taxonomy on users!
With New Year around the corner people are looking back at 2003 and predicting what will happen in 2004. Well, what are your Drupal predictions for 2004? What lies ahead for Druplicon?
Couldn't decide where to post this. It's Christmas Eve, and I've just finished my Santa duties. Before heading to bed, I thought I'd wish the kind, generous and innovative folks in the drupal community. I wish you all a wonderful 2004, and a year individual successes and great advancements for drupal.
I'm curious to know how the internationlization of drupal works ? Browsing this site there is no drop down menu in my user profile, so I'm guessing drupal uses the HTTP language headers. Is there a way for site admins to allow users to specify a preferred language in their profile to override their browser configuration ?
