Multilingual module madness! Which i18n modules do I really need?
2013 Stanford Drupal Camp Has Ended

Configuring a multilingual site in Drupal 7 is not for the faint of heart. If you search for i18n-related modules on drupal.org, you’ll find nearly 100 listed! So, which ones do we really need? And, why?
This session will give a rundown of the myriad of multilingual Drupal modules as well as take a peek at what is coming up in Drupal 8. We will cover:
- Must-use modules like i18n and friends
- Core content translation vs. the Entity Translation module
- Making the translation process easier for translators and content editors
- Considerations for SEO, panels, and custom themes
- Preview of how things will change (for the better!) in Drupal 8
Our goal will be to discuss the most important modules for creating a multilingual Drupal 7 site but we will also touch upon some optional modules that might make sense for certain sites.
To make creating multilingual Drupal 8 sites much better, please get involved with the Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative!
