Hook 42 is ready to let the good times roll at DrupalCon in New Orleans, et vous?
Are you an agency who has multilingual clients, or do you want them?
Are you a themer, site builder, or developer who already works on multilingual sites?
Do YOU want to expand your knowledge base and skills so you can start building multilingual sites?
Have you heard the rumors that multilingual in D8 is easier than D7 and want to experience that first hand?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, join us on Monday May 9th, for our Hands-On Drupal Multilingual for D7 and D8 Training!
The training will be led by Kristen Pol & Aimee Degnan, who literally wrote the books on multilingual in D7 & D8.
Now that you’re ready to laissez les bon temps rouler for you, your clients, and/or your site - here’s a brief overview of what we will cover during the training.
What Good Times Will Roll - aka Learning Objectives
You'll be learning a lot in one day! Here are some highlights:
- Understand what Drupal components might need translations
- Configure interface translations to be pulled from localize.drupal.org automatically
- Pros and cons between node/content translation and field/entity translation
- Configure entities (nodes, comments, users, etc.) for translations
- Update views, site variables, and other configuration to support different languages
- Drupal 8 site building exercises WITH multilingual support! A great way to get introduced to Drupal 8!
Reaching audiences from different countries and with different language preferences can boost site conversions, improve user engagement, and create happier customers. Drupal is a go-to CMS for both small and large websites. But, until Drupal 8, building a multilingual site in Drupal has been quite challenging. In Drupal 7, it can take up to 20 core and community modules (or more!), lots of configuration, and often many patches from the issue queues to get a site prepped for multiple languages and translations. But have no fear!
For the first part of the day, we'll be following the Drupal 7 Multilingual Sites book which covers adding languages, configuring language negotiation, installing interface translations, configuring entities for translation, and more. For the second part of the day, we'll work with multilingual in Drupal 8 using the Drupal 8 Multilingual Sites book.
You'll get to bring the books and guided exercises home with you for reference when building your next multilingual site.
Make sure you sign up early to get the discounted rate and ensure the training happens. Don’t miss out completely by waiting too long!
