Multilingual Plone & Volto
Plone, as a CMS, provides the required basis to build a powerful multilingual site. In this talk I will guide you through those basis, showing the power of Plone!
The talks wants to explain which are the options Plone provides to build a multilingual site. I will also explain the decisions made when plone.app.multilingual was built upon the lessons learnt from Products.LinguaPlone.
I will also explain some issues and glitches we find everyday when fighting with multilingualism with our clients.
Our company was founded in a bilingual country where 2 languages are equally official. All public adminsitration is required to present their site in both languages, and many of our clients come from administration background.
Moreover, many other private institutions, companies, universities or associations also require their sites to be multilingual (sometimes not only in the 2 official languages, but also including English and/or French).
For us, when building Plone sites, it was a common path to use LinguaPlone first and plone.app.multilingual later. We participated in the early sprints to include multilingual in Plone 5, and we are always "listening to" what happens in the multilingual-capabilities of Plone.
