Chapter 13 ■ Multilingual Capabilities<br />

Configuration Translation provides the ability to translate elements of your site such as the site name,<br />

vocabularies, menus, blocks, and other configuration related text on your site. The Content Translation<br />

module handles all of the content-related text, such as articles. The Interface Translation module provides<br />

an easy-to-use interface for translating elements of your site that are static strings, such as form labels, and<br />

the Language module is the module that enables the definition of which languages your site supports.<br />

Check all of the modules in the Multilingual category and then click the “Save configuration” button.<br />

Configuring Multilingual Capabilities<br />

The next step in the process is to configure the multilingual capabilities of <strong>Drupal</strong> 8. Start by navigating to<br />

the Configuration page. Click the Manage link in the admin menu, followed by the Configuration link in the<br />

secondary menu. On the Configuration page, scroll down until you see the Regional And Language section<br />

(see Figure 13-2).<br />

Specifying the Languages<br />

To set the languages that your site will support, click the Languages link on the Configuration page in<br />

the Regional And Language section. If you installed your <strong>Drupal</strong> 8 instance using English as the default<br />

language, your Languages page should look like Figure 13-3.<br />
