Internationalization
Provides content translation -nodes and taxonomy-, interface translation for anonymous users -with the locale module- and browser language detection. Includes a block for language selection and manages translation relationships for nodes and taxonomy terms.
For Drupal 6 it builds on core multilingual features to extend them and make the site fully multilingual, including taxonomy translation, multilingual blocks and menu items and translation of user defined strings. Read a complete feature overview in the new Internationalization handbook.
