Translating Nodes (pages, books, posts, etc.)

This page explains how to manually enter translation using the Translate tab.

The Translation Management module can simplify this significantly.

Select the page you wish to translate and then select the "Translate" tab.

Add Translation

Add translation

This will create a new Drupal page which holds the translation. Drupal will automatically link translated pages with one another, so that users can easily switch between languages.

Enter the Translation

Enter translation

Enter the title, body and any taxonomy terms for the translated page.

Once you save the translation, the public page will now make it available for site visitors:

I am new to the translation arena. I am following steps as closely as possible. A few questions, I created a new page and all other languages were created. Now if I go and add a language after that, then go to the default language, english, I click translate, then next to the new language I click add translation. However, it doesn't translate it nor add the language to the rest of the languages and connect it the way the documentation says it will.

Can you add a translation after you initially set it up. If it won't add what are the steps to make it happen?

Do I need to add something manually?

Thank you!
