Internationalization

I'm creating a Drupal (6) site that is on a sub-domain of a parent site (made in cake php) that already has functionality for choosing the language in which the site will be displayed. It writes a cookie that indicates this choice. Since my attached drupal site is on a subdomain, it should be possible to read that cookie. I'd like to configure Drupal to always display pages in this language, if available, and in the default language (English) if not.

I'm told this should be possible. Can anyone recommend how best to go about doing this? I'm rather new to Drupal and PHP.

Hi Everyone,

I know I have not been around much lately (Japanese Group). We are crazy busy at the moment.

We are about to put out a Japanese Ubercart and things turned out very well. I am more excited and pleased with Ubercart than when I first started. I really am amazed at how well they did things out of the box being that it is only version 2, it is a great module, and calling it a module seems almost too little as it is amazing.

I am working on a website that ultimately will be available in several languages. It is also going to have a lot of complex CCK content types.

A lot of these fields will be CCK options fields, such as checkboxes, radio buttons and so on. Many of these fields will be usable for filtering and creating lists as well. Some of these options will be added to as the site grows.

What I have been thinking about is the best way to implement this to be flexible, efficient and at the same time make it easy to maintain and translations.

As I see it I have two options:

When building multilingual sites we usually have one of these two user stories:

Dedicated translation team

When the site or the team is big enough or there are many languages, we usually have some people to build and administer the site and some other people to translate the stuff. For this case you'd like to have:

<

ul>

Hi all,

hope this is not a traited point...

I'm french and i used drupal for making an I18n website.

My pb is that one time i make my code (in english) and translate it into languages, if i make a change on english transatable string, i have to retranslate, and upload, corresponding string for all other language.

Exemple:
t("how stupide is that")
---french >>> C'est stupide
---spanich >>> Esto es estúpido

Now let suppose for optimise my english web page i want to change it to "this is stupide"
t("this is stupide")
---french >>> lose
---spanich >>> lose

There is a separate "primary" site (in another system [NOT Drupal]), and the Drupal site has two servers with one database on one of those servers connected to both Drupal instances. Our problem is with the two Drupal servers and DNS (domain/subdomain) settings to manage them.

One instance has a minute-by-minute CRON job running to keep the other in-synch, with rsync. Only one of those servers is open to login and edit with a subdomain pointing to it directly on the network. The other server has a read-only user setup for the database connection, just as a precaution.

Hi all,

I am looking for some advice. I am trying to make a D5 implementation have 2 different behavior depending on the host.

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'www.host.org' || $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'host.org'){
$conf['i18n_translation_links'] = 0;
}elseif($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'admin.host.org'){
$conf['i18n_translation_links'] = 1;
}

Does this make sense? Is there a better way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Hi All,

I got one problem about the site name i18n.

For example, my site has an English name is "My Drupal", and its Chinese name is "我的Drupal". I want the site to display the right site name according to different languages. How can I use i18n module to realize this feature? Many thanks.

I've been having a look at the internationalization module for the week or so and a couple of things have put me off using it. Of primary concern is that it generates URLs for untranslated content. For example, if I create an English page with the URL 'A' then the page will automatically be available via the URL 'ja/A'.

This isn't great at all in SEO terms as two URLs are being created which contain the same content. This can get you penalized by goodle. Is there any way of preventing this?
