  9. INTRODUCTION
  10. ------------
  11. The Multilingual content module, part of the Internationalization
  12. (https://www.drupal.org/project/i18n) package, provides extended multilingual
  13. options for nodes. These options help accommodate a variety of translation
  14. workflows by controlling how the language for nodes is set.
  15. Note that the Multilingual content module lives in the i18n_node directory
  16. in the Internationalization package. Don't confuse this module with the core
  17. Content translation module.

  35. ------------
  36. This is a submodule of the Internationalization module. Install the
  37. Internationalization module as you would normally install a contributed Drupal
  38. module. Visit https://www.drupal.org/node/895232 for further information.
  39. CONFIGURATION
  40. -------------
  41. For each content type, the following Extended language options are available
  42. under the Multilingual Settings tab.
  43. 1. "Set current language as default for new content" can be useful for content
  44. that is community-generated.
  45. 2. "Require language" prevents users from creating 'Language neutral' nodes.
  46. 3. "Lock language" prevents users from changing the language of a node after
  47. it's created.
  48. Site-wide Settings for Node Translation
  49. 1. There are also site-wide settings provided to help streamline how
  50. multilingual content is created. Navigate to Config > Regional and language >
  51. Multilingual settings > Node Options.
  52. 2. "Switch interface for translating" switches the language of the user
  53. interface to the chosen language when a user translates a node. This is
  54. useful if users speak the language in which the translation is written. It
  55. means that after the node translation is saved, the language of the UI will
  56. match the language of the node.
  57. 3. "Hide content translation links" will prevent the language switcher links
  58. from appearing in nodes and teasers. This is useful if a language switcher
  59. block is enabled on the site.
  60. 4. The user can also select the default language for new nodes if the
  61. corresponding content type doesn't have language support. By default, it is
  62. set to be in the default language of the site, but this can be changed to be
  63. language neutral. This is a useful option when thinking about forward
  64. compatibility for adding multilingual support to these content types in the
  65. future.
