Translating Content

Goal

Translate the home page to Spanish.

Prerequisite knowledge

“Translation User Interface, Configuration, and Content”

Site prerequisites

• The Home content item must exist. See Section 5.2, “Creating a Content Item”.
• The core Content Translation module must be installed, and your site must have at least two languages. See “Adding a Language”.
• The Basic page content type must be configured to be translatable. See “Configuring Content Translation”.

Steps

1. In the Manage administrative menu, navigate to Content (admin/content).
2. Locate the home page. You can search for it by entering "Home" in the title field.
3. Select Translate from the dropdown button in the row of the Home content item. The page Translations of Home appears.

4. Click Add in the row Spanish.

   

    

5. Note that the user interface has switched to Spanish. To switch it back to English, remove the first instance of es in the browser’s URL. For example, if your URL looks like example.com/es/node/5/translations/add/en/es, remove the es that comes immediately after example.com.
