Though Drupal 7.x has some built-in multilingual support, not everything is yet multilingual/translatable. This package tries to fill the gaps that still exist to build multilingual sites with Drupal. In the collection, each module addresses a specific functionality. The main features provided by these modules are the following:

General features

  • Multilingual variables. Select variables that will be made translatable.
  • Translatable user defined strings: Menu items, taxonomy, fields and content type names and descriptions, etc...
  • Language selection: Only content in the selected language is displayed for each page view.
  • Fields: translate field names, descriptions and default values. It doesn't translate actual field values at all.
  • Synchronization: Synchronize selected fields for content translations.

Multilingual Taxonomy

  • Language can be set up for vocabularies or terms, or terms can be localized
  • Both multilingual vocabularies with terms in multiple languages and single-language vocabularies can be created
  • Translations can be defined between terms in different languages
  • Taxonomy term synchronization can be defined per vocabulary for translations
  • Taxonomy term translation can be done using localization for selected vocabularies
