Multilingual Training at DrupalCon Munich: Aug 20, 2012

Learn How to Build Multilingual Websites with Drupal 7

In an increasingly global world, Drupal core's support for multilingual content has made it a favourite CMS among large organizations. Despite that, Drupal site-builders and develpoers are often stumped by the myriad of possible approaches and tricks involved in making it work. Over the last few months, Evolving Web has worked together with Acquia to put together a multilingual site building course to walk you through the process step by step and unfuddle much of the complexity. We're officially launching the course at a training session at DrupalCon Munich on August 20th.
