Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.It would be nice to be able to translate the site informations too:
- Slogan
- Mission
- Footer message
eg. when using english the slogan would say "Hello", while when using french it would say "Salut".

webchickNew feature, and string freeze breakage; marking for 7.x.
Comment #3
xanoI understand this is a new feature and it should therefore be set to 7.x, but the current 6.0 settings don't fully support a multilingual site. A site name or slogan is often not the same in different languages. This is why I would really like to see this feature to appear in a future 6.x release. Would this perhaps be possible?
/edit: Bit more clarification: The language system was one of the parts of Drupal 6 everybody was really proud of. It was like the flagship module of Drupal 6 - and it is... except for some minor issues like this one. If fixed they would really make the module kick-ass.

keith.smith commentedXano: as the release announcement points out, even in Drupal 6 some few additional multilingual modules like i18n or localizer may be necessary to "complement or complete" the multilingual feature set. There simply wasn't time or enough people to get all of the planned features into Drupal 6. If we work toward fixing this in Drupal 7, then it will be available for future versions though (and the Drupal 6 maintainer has the option to include a backported version in future versions of 6, though that may be unlikely -- generally, that is reserved for bug fixes, performance enhancements and similar things, rather than new features.)

jose reyero commentedAs all this data is stored in Drupal variables, this will be possible when we get them to be translatable, there are other issues about it.
