Multilingual select

The Multilingual select module, part of the Internationalization (i18n) package, allows you to define whether content is filtered by language on pages provided by Drupal core. This applies to cases in which multiple nodes are pulled out of the nodes table and displayed together on the page, such as on the default homepage (/node). The module allows you to configure whether or not to filter these pages by the current language. If the Taxonomy translation submodule is also enabled, an option will be available for how taxonomy term pages are filtered.

The module also allows you to exclude the module's language selection handling for certain elements (i.e. views, since views has its own mechanism for language filtering) and for certain paths (i.e. admin pages). You can configure these settings at Configuration > Regional and language > Multilingual settings > Selection.

HowTo: Node references and language selection

When using node references, if the Multilingual select module is enabled (from the Internationalization package), you'll see only a list of nodes in the current language when selecting node references. To change this and get nodes for all languages to show up when selecting node references, you can exclude node edit paths from the language selection as follows:

  • Go to Administration > Configuration > Regional and Language > Multilingual settings > Selection.
  • On Enable for specific pages, select 'All pages except those listed'.
  • Add the paths:
      node/add
      node/*/edit
  • Save
