Using migrate-7.x-2.6-RC1.

The main purpose of this cookbook is to show how to import one content type in as many languages as you want using CSV import.

It assumes that you have one csv file per language, that each is in the csv format, and that the content for all its translations are at the same line. It also assumes you're using the Content Translation method of translation, and not entity translation.

Force using "" to avoid problem with language like russian chinese, japanese, arabic, etc...

Principle

  • You first import the content in your main language.
  • In this import, you set the tnid using the postImport method.
  • Then you import your content in the other language, and you set the tnid using the method gettnid which go in the main language migration table made by migrate to retrieve the tnid.

Structure of the module

my_module :

  • my_module.info
  • my_module.module
  • my_module.migrate.inc
  • my_module.install
  • includes
    • basic.inc
    • content_type_1.inc
    • content_type_2.inc
  • data_sources
    • Content_type_1
      • content_type_1.en.csv
      • content_type_1.fr.csv
      • ...
    • Content_type_2
      • content_type_2.en.csv
      • content_type_2.fr.csv
      • ...

Content_type_2 will be used in https://drupal.org/node/2218857.

Here is my example of how to import both english and Japanese versions of the same field from the same CSV.
The english title is in the csv column "title" and a Japanese title is in column "titleJp"

This project had title module, entity_translation and translation modules installed


class CustomNodeMigration extends Migration {
  
  public function __construct($arguments) {
    parent::__construct($arguments);
    $this->path = '/tmp/custom_content.csv';

    $this->destination = new MigrateDestinationNode('page');

    $this->map = new MigrateSQLMap($this->machineName,
      array(
        'id' => array(
          'type' => 'int',
          'not null' => TRUE,
          'description' => 'page ID',

        )

    $this->addFieldMapping('language')->defaultValue('en');

The patch at #929402-40: Add support for migrate module simplifies this somewhat.
