Crowd translation powered by Drupal - how far can we go?

Firstly I'm a team of the team for the site - so, a bit of self-promotion here might be...

Translia (http://www.translia.com) is the first online translation website that implements crowd sourcing business module by a real meaning. Typically crowd sourcing means a mass of people, each working on a smaller part of the job, together deliver a larger job and achieve better quality, quick turnaround and lower cost.

The major challenges in designing a crowd translation sites include

  • Automating the translation business and production process that traditionally involves a lot of human attendance.
  • Enabling translators, who usually work alone, to collaborate with each other.

To address these issues we adopted Drupal and built the site in the two directions:

Translation process automation that involves the following modules,

  • Workflow, Workflow field
  • Messaging and notifications
  • Ubercar
  • Userpoints

We developed a couple of modules for meeting the unique requirements set by the project. For example, measuring the contribution of each member to a job.

Community and social network features that are based the core or contributed modules such as

  • Forum
  • Profiles
  • Facebook-style status
  • Invite

I made this as a fun website designed to be a homepage for someone who wants a little extra dose of entertainment in their day. I update it every day with something new, and I've gotten some good reviews! Check it out!

I chose drupal because of all of the different features that save so much money and time. If I need to customize something I just go in and edit some code and it's there! I love it!

ACTAonline.org

Only local images are allowed.www.actaonline.org is the 3rd Drupal production site I've done, and by far the most complex. My client, the Alliance for California Traditional Arts wanted to renovate their site to a database driven structure. Much of what this organization is about has to do with mini-grants and showcasing their grantees. They wanted the end-user to be able to search a substantial database of artists and organizations categorized by geography, art form, and ethnicity. Drupal's taxonomy structure was ideal for this type of content categorization and I used faceted search to accomplish the filtering.

The other key function of the site is to feature events - broken down into 3 types: ongoing exhibits, one-time events, and funding deadlines. For this I used the event module as a backbone and created 2 additional content types - then created 3 separate calendar pages and blocks with the views module.

HeadlinerCreative : A Case Study

Headliner Creative

Web designers have taken to blogging platforms as a foundation for their portfolio websites. It has always bothered me since, as a web designer, I believe in user-centered design. Blogging systems are not ideal for showcasing a portfolio, as it’s coming at the project from the perspective of “what’s easy to build and how can we fit what we want into it?”

I think a lot of designers feel overwhelmed by Drupal, because of all the capability and power it has. But Drupal is capable of not just managing newspapers and portals – Drupal can easily and efficiently handle small-time operations, as well.

I knew I needed to redesign my own website, www.headlinercreative.com, and I was determined to use Drupal. I approached the project like any client’s website, starting from the very beginning: figuring out the goals and purpose of the website, figuring out what content I wanted to display and the best way to display it. I wanted something that would be easy for me to use and update, and that would be intuitive for visitors to view my work and participate in blog discussions. I knew that whatever I came up with, Drupal would handle it superbly.
