Conference booklet summary and bio
Article for conference booklet: 
There are numerous tools to help you translate the interface and content of your Drupal websites, and there are obviously (still) missing items in the implementation. This session will show off Drupal 6's capabilities and the latest developments with contributed modules, such as i18n module and l10n_client. You'll see the limitations of Drupal's built in language support as well as the flexibility offered by contributed tools. We will touch on things which are missing, and parts where you might need some custom development to get what you intended.

Overview

There are numerous tools to help you translate the interface and content of your Drupal websites, and there are obviously (still) missing items in the implementation. This session will show off Drupal 6's capabilities and the latest developments with contributed modules, such as i18n module and l10n_client.

Agenda

* What do you need vs. what Drupal does
* How to get closer the two with core features and contributed modules
* Translating the interface live with l10n_client, contributing to an l10n_server
* Content translation, listing, filtering and administration
* What's missing, and where projects are going

Goals

I intend to provide you with an understanding on where Drupal core and the contributed modules fit with your needs and goals, and where should you still expect some custom coding required for your top-notch multilanguage site.
