A bit about me… • Drupal hobbyist • Founder of Annertech • Backend developer • https://www.drupal.org/u/stella

Background

Summary • Configuring your languages and language negotiation • Translation vs localisation • Translating nodes and taxonomy terms • The joys and pains of translating paragraphs • Translating menus and user interface strings

Getting setup

Modules Only need core modules

Add your languages

Language Negotiation

Translation vs Localisation • Translation • All content copy identical across languages - “like for like” translation • Commonly fallback to site default language if not translated • Localisation (aka regionalisation) • Content targeted to different markets / countries / regions • Content (and menus!) can diverge

Adding Translations Photo credit: evandashevsky.com

User interface translation • aka system strings • hasn’t changed much since Drupal 7 • http://localize.drupal.org

Content translation • “entity translation” in D7

Translating menu items (continued)

a r a g r a p h s

Translation - translate the paragraph entity, not the field Node 1 Paragraph id 1 English English Irish Irish Irish Localisation - translate the paragraph field, not the entity Node 1 Paragraph id 1 Paragraph id 1 English English Paragraph id 2 Irish Irish Irish Irish

Translating configuration

Example configuration page

Configuration translation form

Configuration schema • config/schema/example.schema.yml • Translatable types: • “text” • “label” • Other yml files: • mymodule.links.task.yml • mymodule.config_translation.yml

Localisation Image credit: mobio.com

How we set up localisation • Multiple versions of each language (e.g. en-us, en-gb) • Region taxonomy (optional) • Allowed languages for the region • Countries in each region • IP Language Negotiation • Menus per region • Region switcher dropdown (custom module)

Region taxonomy

Gotchas • Performance & APCu limits for configuration cache • Paragraphs, translation vs localisation - decide first! • Google Translate • Caching & Redirects • SEO - xml sitemap, hreflang • Design

Additional modules • Alternate hreflang - https://www.drupal.org/project/hreflang • Simple XML Sitemap - https://www.drupal.org/project/simple_sitemap • Language Switcher Dropdown - https://www.drupal.org/project/ lang_dropdown • IP Language Negotiation - https://www.drupal.org/project/ ip_language_negotiation • Translation Management Tool - https://www.drupal.org/project/tmgmt

Patches • Drupal core • #2189267 - fix for content vs interface language negotiation • #2430335 - language negotiation, redirections and caching • Paragraphs • #2461695 - support for localisation • Entity Browser • #2721665 - support for translatable media entities
