 I gave a presentation about " International and multilingual Drupal sites" to the Vancouver Drupal Users Group on November 20, 2008. Here are my slides. As part of the research for my paper, I set up a basic Drupal 6 site with UI strings and content translated into Japanese and English languages. I found that Drupal 6 has very good support for multilingual site hosting. However, there were some tricky aspects to installing the right modules and then setting up the system configuration. I summarise them here, but it's probably worth better documentation. |

This was fun! I wrote a song I call "Unicode Doggerel", to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Unicode. It begins, "I am the very model of a modern text encoding scheme". |

Web 2.0 goes to Babel: Multilingual websites and user-supplied content |

 I gave a presentation on " Web 2.0 goes to Babel: Multilingual websites and user-supplied content" to the 32nd Internationalization and Unicode Conference on September 9, 2008.
Abstract: In today's web, it's straightforward to publish in any single language. The cool Web 2.0 sites are organised around user-supplied content: postings, tags, comments, photos, videos. But what happens when you try to do all that in more than one language at a time? Do you translate the user-supplied content? And how? Can you crowdsource the localisation? This talk looks at the business, technical, and design issues of multilingual web sites. We'll look at role models, examine social translation, see how technologies like Joomla, Drupal, WordPress, HTTP, and URLs fit in. Get inspired to add another language to your site! |
