Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove the link to the other translation at the bottom of my page?

You can do this from the Multilingual setup page: admin/settings/language/i18n

Select "Hide content translation links".

I started a site with English as the default. How do I change it to German?

What I would like to do is to have English nodes come up with example.com/en, and the German nodes with plain example.com.

Edit the path prefix for each language. Go to admin/settings/language and edit each language. Set the path prefix for English to en and the path prefix for German to "empty".

Google Maps with 2 domain names

by Anonymous - 09/02/2011 - 03:58

How to set up a Google Maps with 2 different domain names ?
I've realised a website in 2 languages (FR + UK) and I use one domain name by site so www.mydomain.fr launch french webpages and www.mydomain.com launch english webpages. Every thing work very well.

The problem is that the Google Maos module ask for an api key. I generated it for the .com domain name. But when I visit the .fr domain name I have an error. It's normal because 1 api key for 1 domain name.

I to fix it ?

Many thx

Two questions about Multi-lingual sites

by Anonymous - 08/02/2011 - 02:42

Let me first thank you for all the effort making this site and for all the work put in related module development.

I have two basic questions with hopefully straight answers (i.e. if I manage to explain myself well)...

I am planning to develop a site in Arabic with the possibility to translate all the nodes in future and make the site available also in English.

Question 1:

Does the primary language for the site have to be English. Would moving from Arabic site to Multi-lingual mode with English as secondary language be the same as developing first the English version and then provide translations to Arabic ?! I recall that this was an issue in Drupal 6, if I am not wrong.

Question 2:

I understand that it is possible to direct people to desired languages by either URL or domain name (i.e. detection). Does this mean that I can put each version of the site (translation) under a different domain name, e.g.:

cakes.com for Ensligh and
ka3ek.com for Arabic ?!

Hi - Is it possible to de-activate a language in the front end whilst people still add content in the back end?
How would I go about that?

You need to modify your theme

You need to modify your theme to have your menu displayed RTL for RTL languages. You should create a style-rtl.css file in your theme for this.

The default garland theme shows how to do this.
