Internationalization

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 the Variable module (Drupal 7)

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

Drupal 6

Internationalization for Drupal 6 is the previous stable release of the module. Though it will be maintained and get bug fixes, don't expect new features for it.

If you want to speed up maintenance bug fixes for this version you can a) Write unit tests or b) Apply to become a maintainer or c) Help cleaning up the 6.x issue tracker. (Just whinning on the issue tracker will actually slow down maintenance).

This is the documentation for the 6.x version: Internationalization 6.x handbook
