DRUPAL 8 MULTILINGUAL CHANGES SUMMARY v. 2.0 for Drupalaton / drupal8multilingual.org / @d8mi
INSTALLER Language list first
Detects browser language
Integrates with automated translation download
Picking a language enables Language and Interface Translation
LANGUAGE Language module as base language service
Simplified language config (no domain/prefix, etc)
2 special instead of 1 (und: Not specified, zxx: Not applicable)
English can be deleted (not even added if installed foreign)
CONTENT
LANGUAGE
Content type language support more flexible (one screen setup)
Language selector field is freely positioned
Same flexibility + new language support on other “content”
Views to customize pages based on content language
BLOCK
LANGUAGE
Blocks got language visibility
More things are blocks
NEGOTIATIO
N
Defaults to path prefix negotiation (80%), configuration there
Added admin language option (move it up to first if used)
Browser detection configurable + more accurate
Fallback language configurable (don’t change site default)
USERS Users have language preference + admin language if applicable
Internally up to 3 different languages per user
NAMES Transliteration built-‐in for machine names
INTERFACE
TRANSLATION
Interface translation (locale) module now only doing this
One central directory for .po files -‐ staging/version control
File import and automated update settings
Import will not time out or eat up lots of memory
Translation UI revamped (much quicker editing)
Plural versions editable with specific UI
Edited strings become custom, can be separately exported
Default configuration translated
English can be “translated to”
CONTENT
TRANSLATION
Field translation based module in core
Old content-‐copy translation not available anymore
Configuration on the field and sub-‐field level (eg. image fields)
Integrated with search indexing (in core) and API
Node access is also language aware
CONFIG
TRANSLATION
All new in core, replaces many of i18n’s features
Not configurable, one flat permission for all translation
Index page for all configuration
Translation tabs, integrates with interface translation
Be aware of what is content/configuration/interface
MENUS Interface (built-‐in), configuration (views) and content (custom)
Most tricky part is which one is which
APIs (picks) JavaScript translation API unified with PHP API
Simpler Entity API makes working with multilingual content easier
More (HTML5) language markup for more accessibility/machines
Configuration schema system to support configuration translation
WORKFLOW Will be provided by contributed modules
