WEB-T Drupal module

Automated website translation solution for Drupal websites. This module can pre-translate all translatable entities (articles, pages, comments, tags, etc.), UI and config strings and translate new entities when they are created or updated. Before loading any translatable entity, this module also translates them, if translation in selected language does not exist. It does that by adding/updating entity, UI and config string translations provided by Drupal core localization modules.

Dependencies

Module depends on Drupal built-in localization modules:

• language - provides website language selection functionality;
• content_translation - provides API for Drupal entity (page, article, etc.) translation;
• config_translation - provides API for configuration item translation;
• locale - provides API for user interface item translation.

For machine-translation this module uses either eTranslation or any other MT API integrator compatible MT provider. Machine translation configuration and access key is specified by website administrator in module settings.
