We've just had a fantastic sprint with people interested in bringing multilingual support forward in Montreal for almost a week in the middle of September. People (in no particular order) from Evolving Web, Whisky Echo Bravo, Koumbit, OpenConcept, xMac Info, psegno.it, Acquia, etc. all participated in a week of code writing, UX reviews and planning, documentation and architecture discussions.

We marked most of the issues that we've been working on with the D8MI and Montreal tags, and lots of issues were tagged with Montreal in the Entity translation module queue.

While some of this work is still ongoing, all-in-all I think we made progress on lots of important pieces and helped kickstart important work on usability and key underlying API changes at the same time as improving the documentation. I'd like to especially thank the Drupal Association and Acquia for sponsoring the event which made it possible to fly in contributors from Europe too. We had a great gathering of people and matching tasks for everybody to be productive and contribute lots to the effort!

To provide some more detailed highlights, we've made progress in several key areas:

Thanks for the Notman House and McGill University for sprinting space, the Drupal Association for sponsoring the event and especially thanks to everybody for being there! See you in followups and in the issue queue!

Gábor: A big thanks to you and plach for coming over and leading the sprint. A lot of us use Drupal and other open source tools every day and often forget about the attention to detail and creativity that the maintainers and developers bring to the project. Seeing (and participating) in the sprint was inspirational on many levels.
