I have only done one Drupal multi-lingual site - English and Chinese. You get English by default unless you change your user preference to Chinese - or click on the Chinese flag.

Now I am trying to get both English and Chinese versions of the articles on the same screen. Is that possible? any tips?

Can the commenting system cope with both English and Chinese comments - eg if one comment was translated into another?

I'm looking for the same concept as yourself but haven't found yet. I started making a translation module (4.7) that links a translation with the original message. using javascript, the other translation is just a click away or can be themed to use two columns or one. however, i started a new job and haven't had time to work on it recently. Since no one replied to your post, I thought I should.

If you install i18n module, and go to admin > settings > i18n, you'll see:

Content selection mode:
- Only current language and no language
- Only current and default languages and no language
- Only default language and no language
- Only current language
- All content. No language conditions apply

I think this is where you can define the content languages...

Success!

Hi New Ocean.

- Only current language and no language
- Only current and default languages and no language
- Only default language and no language

I'm not sure what those three mean, specially "no language". Could you explain? Thanks.
