Drupal Module 2

Hi,

Drupal provides an excellent multiligual support with minimum effort. I came across two such modules:

1. Google Translate
2. Language Icon

These are a whole bunch of them out there. But I liked these two. Google Translate uses conventional translation method for converting the entire page. It fetches data from google itself for the translation, so you cannot edit them. But in Language Icon you can specify translation of each word in Drupal dictionary. You can also create a language if you want. The only problem is you need to sit down and make the entire translation manually. But both of them rocks.

Other interesting modules are:


1. Role Theme Switcher : This lets you to select themes based on user roles. Similiar to one I had mentioned in my earlier post Drupal module 1, but that was related to URL based theme.

2. Text Size: This is another small but very helpful module. If you to put something like:


then this is the module you want to download. Pretty basic and effective

3. Node Comment: This module will let you treat your comments as a seperate node. So you can add as many fields you want when user comments. This is effective when customization is required.
