Requirements for tmgmt

Translation Management Tool was built for Drupal 7 only. There will be no back port.

This suite of modules is intended to work as a supplement for translation system of Drupal. It does not replace any of the modules that manage multiligual content. But it does provide mechanisms to created the content and to store it in the appropirate places.

To use Translation Management Tool you need to install and activate the following modules:

The Translation Management Tool (TMGMT) module provides a tool set for translating content from different sources. The translation can be done by people or translation services of all kinds. It builds on and uses existing language tools and data structures in Drupal and can be used in automated workflow scenarios.

This module does not make i18n or any other language module for Drupal obsolete. It does only facilitate the translation process.

This is a list of additional contributed Drupal 7 modules that extend Drupal's multilingual features:

Administration

• Language Assignment: Lets you set the language of multiple nodes or users at a time.
• Translation Overview: Provides a comprehensive view of your content translation status.
• Translation table: UI for quick translation of taxonomies and menus.
• Taxonomy CSV import/export: A UI / drush tool useful for creating multilingual taxonomies.
• Translation Management Tool: Provides a tool set for translating content from different sources. The translation can be done by people or translation services of all kinds. It builds on and uses existing language tools and data structures in Drupal and can be used in automated workflow scenarios.

User Interface

• Language Icons: Adds icons to language links for nodes and blocks.
• Language Switcher Dropdown: Provides a new block with the language switcher as a drop down field.

Remove node Language field from display

The Internationalization module exposes a new field on the node display, the node language, that was already there but never displayed.

In order to remove it from showing up on the node view, you need to edit your content type's Display settings. Note: The Field UI core module must be enabled to edit these Display settings.

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:

Node listing as the homepage

When creating a multilingual Drupal site, if your site front page is a node listing (which is the default in Drupal), you can enable the Multilingual select module, included in the contributed Internationalization (i18n) package of modules, and the content for each language will be selected depending on your settings for 'Language selection' (Administration > Configuration > Regional and language > Multilingual settings > Selection ) so you won't need to do anything else in this case.

Different node or path per language as the homepage

When using a single node as the front page, or when using a different path per language for the front page, the page won't switch automatically depending on the language detection. You need to use the Variable translation module (part of the Internationalization package) to specify a default front page path per language.

• In Configuration > Regional and languages: Multilingual settings > Variables, enable 'Default front page' as a multilingual variable.
• Go to Configuration > System > Site information > Front page.
