The MultiLingual Moshpit

Speakers: 

What happens when someone comes to you and says I want a site for a music festival, oh and it's in 5 weeks time. Oh yes and we are planning to live stream the performances around Europe. Also we need it in 7 different languages, with some country specific content. We think it's going to be quite big but we really are not sure who may people to expect.

This session will cover how we responded to the interesting challenge set.

We will look at the modules and approaches that we took to the following key areas.

- Building a multilingual site
- Modules
- Choices
- Pitfalls
- Managing translation within Drupal
- Approaches to customising the site with Country specific content.

The approach to development and some key principles of working with contrib modules that work really well.

Finally we will discuss the approach to making Drupal scale to a highly peaky traffic pattern.
