Administration Language ================================================================================ Summary -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Administration Language module makes sure all administration pages are displayed in the preferred language of the administrator. Which pages are considered administration pages can be configured. Users with the right permissions can choose to use either the global administration language or a language of their choice. Requirements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Administration Language module requires the Locale (core) module. Installation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Copy the admin_language folder to sites/all/modules or to a site-specific modules folder. 2. Go to Modules and enable the Administration Language module. Configuration -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Go to Administration > Configuration > Regional and language > Languages and choose the language you want to use as the administration language. 2. Go to Administer > People > Permissions and grant your administrator role the 'Select administration language' permission. 3. (Optional) Go to Administration > Configuration > Regional and language > Languages > Administration language and select which paths should use the selected administration language. By default, all pages on the site are affected. 4. (Optional) Go to Administration > Configuration > Regional and language > Languages > Administration language and select whether you want to remove the administration language in the language dropdown on the node edit form (requires that the Content translation module is enabled). 5. (Optional) Enable the 'Language switcher (interface text, without administration language)' block if you need a language switcher block which doesn't display the administration language. 6. (Optional) Go to My account or another user/<uid>/edit page to choose a different admin language than the global default. Permissions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The module offers the following permissions: "Select administration language": Grant this permission to roles which should be able to access the site using the selected administration language. "Use all enabled languages ": The module makes it possible to hide the selected administration language from certain parts of the interface (e.g. the node form and the user form). Grant this permission to roles which should be able to use all enabled languages on the site. Supported modules -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Administration menu The latest version of the module supports the Administration menu module. By changing a setting you can use the current administration language to display the administratione menu (e.g. having the content displayed in Danish and the administration menu displayed in English). Administration menu Toolbar style The latest version of the module supports the Administration menu Toolbar style module. Known issues -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The module has not been thoroughly tested with the Internationalization (I18N) module. If you encounter any issues when using these modules together, please create an issue in the Administration language issue queue on drupal.org.
