Getting a single language site setup with Drupal is fairly easy, but add multiple languages into the mix, and configuring your site becomes more challenging.
With Drupal you can make it easy for content editors to translate content, and provide users with a multilingual interface that serves them up a site in their chosen or detected language. In this course, you’ll see the modules and configuration options you can select to make this process smoother. You’ll learn typical procedures through hands-on activities. Most importantly, you’ll leave knowing how to plan and prepare for your next multilingual website.
