As of Drupal 6, multilingual support is (partially) included in Drupal core. However, this support does not allow building complete multilingual sites and you will need to install additional modules.

i18n - Translation for Taxonomy, Blocks and Variables

The i18n module is an essential module for running any multilingual Drupal site. It allows translating taxonomy terms, blocks and variables and also includes a language switcher block for choosing the display language.

Translation Management - Creates A Translation Wordflow

The Translation Management module adds a layer of management for multilingual contents.

Site admins can define specific Translator roles and use the Translation Dashboard to send contents to translation.

Installing the Modules

Go to i18n and Translation Management and download the recent versions for each. Make sure you choose the latest stable version that matches the Drupal version you're using.

Extract the downloaded archive into ${DRUPAL_HOME}/sites/all/modules/ where ${DRUPAL_HOME} is your root of your Drupal 6 installation. After extracting the module, a new directory will be created:

• ${DRUPAL_HOME}/sites/all/modules/i18n
• ${DRUPAL_HOME}/sites/all/modules/translation_management

Enabling the Multi-Language Modules

Once you downloaded and installed the modules, you need to enable them.

• Go to Administer > Site Building > Modules
• Enable all the modules under "Multilanguage" and "Translation Management" and save the configuration.
