Multilingual

This toolkit is a collection of modules which were developed to enable African language content publishing on the Web.

The Taxonomy Filter module is designed to present an easy-to-use interface for narrowing down taxonomy listings to find topics that are tagged by multiple terms. This is helpful for sites that use multiple vocabularies to create a multi-faceted information architecture.

Prior to Drupal 7 (see note in the "Drupal 7.x version" section), the core Drupal taxonomy module has the ability to do this with the following URL format:

/taxonomy/term/x,y,z

which will display a listing of all nodes tagged with terms x, y and z. However, not many visitors to your site will be aware of this functionality.

The Taxonomy Filter module allows your users to enjoy this functionality without needing to know the URL syntax described above. It does this by displaying a block of links that reference multiple terms from one or more vocabularies. The vocabulary filters are defined in the module's configuration settings. There the site administrator can specify that a vocabulary be 'filtered' by one or more vocabularies. The arrangement of the links in the block can also be specified by selecting one of the four menu templates -- default, cloud, context and dynamic.

While working on the new content translation system for Drupal 7, we (the Drupal core i18n team) faced the need to convert node titles to the Field API in order to make nodes fully translatable.

We were not able to make this happen in Drupal 7 core (#557292: TF #3: Convert node title to fields and #571654: Revert node titles as fields), so we decided to find a solution for this in contrib: the idea is replacing node titles with fields à la Automatic Nodetitles.

This will be exploited by the related Entity Translation project.

Dependencies

Title requires core version at least 7.15.

Usage

After enabling the module as usual, visit the Manage fields page of the content type, taxonomy vocabulary or "comment type" which you wish to replace fields of and click the replace link. That's all.

Bug fixing policy

This project is maintained mainly through voluntary and sponsored work, this means our resources are limited. Bug reports will be taken into consideration only if they allow to reproduce the reported issue:

This is a collection of modules to extend Drupal core multilingual capabilities and be able to build real life multilingual sites. Some features:

• Taxonomy translation (both, per language terms and translatable terms)
• Multilingual variables
• Multilingual blocks (control visibility per language and translate title and content)
• Language selection (when you switch the site language you'll see only the content for that language)
• Requires Variable module 2.x (Drupal 7)

Read a complete feature overview in the Internationalization handbook: Building multilingual sites .
