We have all heard this from a client: “I have a small marketing website and I want it in English too.” It sounds simple, and it can be, but do not make the error to think “it is just a copy of each page, add the language switcher and voila, we’re done!”

In this talk we will dive into the technology decisions we have made, and committed to the Drupal community, in order to answer the question "How can translations of our content for our (Drupal 10-based) website relaunch, also using the layout builder, be managed?"

In this case study we used our company's website. We had to take our Drupal stack into consideration. It is based upon Lupus Decoupled, a fully integrated solution for a headless Drupal which builds upon Custom Elements and Lupus Custom Elements Renderer. On top of that we also use a custom solution that turns our backend into a contentpool that delivers content to multiple frontends. That was our starting point on top of which we added a multilingual functionality layer.

Drupal Core gives us many tools to start with, but to make it manageable, we had to make some decisions. When an entity exists in one language and then it is translated, all the layout builder blocks are cloned and attached to the new translation. How should the system manage an added block of text? The language switcher must also be designed. There are accessibility guidelines and decisions to make about how the language switcher works when a translation is not available. The list goes on.

We will highlight the overall strategy that we have developed, as well as go into some of the finer points of the code.

Backend Development

Drupal as a Content Management Framework supports commenting content out of the box. In the free and hanseatic city of hamburg we have a Drupal based system for collecting informal civil contributions. To collect the data we have a Drupal Backend and a custom decoupled frontend implemented with Vue.js.

The content created by the citizens of the city can range from a hundred entries or more. Each of these contents as well as the comments are analyzed manually by one or more clerks. To simplify the process of comment analysis we have developed a Drupal module: comment-analyzer.

This module shows the administrator important information that helps him to analyze the comments correctly.

The presentation will show how we proceeded to develop our analysis model, which Drupal features like the Batch API we used, how the integration with different open source frameworks worked and an brief introduction to Natural Language Processing (NLP).

The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate how NLP can be used to analyze comments on a Drupal site. We will discuss the different techniques that can be used, such as sentiment analysis, topic modeling, and text classification. We will also showcase the benefits of using NLP especially to make the free and hanseatic city smarter.

In conclusion, this presentation will be a great opportunity for Drupal developers and business owners to learn about the benefits of using NLP to analyze user comments. Attendees will leave the conference with a better understanding of how NLP can be used for e. g. to improve user engagement, detect spam comments, and understand user sentiment.

TMGMT module: supporting you to keep track of translations on your multilingual website

Managing multilingual content on a website can quickly become a daunting task without the proper tools. Fortunately, the Translation Management Tool (TMGMT) module provides invaluable support to content creators by streamlining translation management, tracking translations, and facilitating third-party translation services.
The use of TMGMT has steadily increased over time, with more websites adopting it and a growing number of providers being supported. As the standard for managed translations in Drupal, we are committed to improving the module's usability.
In this presentation, we will showcase how TMGMT simplifies the management of multilingual content. We will focus on the module's ability to suggest related content for translation and prevent the submission of duplicate items to service providers, ultimately reducing costs. Additionally, we will discuss some of the remaining challenges and our plans to address them.

Side note: I was unsure if this talk would fit most for this track, or backend. I can adapt the presentation for the backend track if it'd be better for the planning management.

Originally a computational biology researcher, I switched to web development only a few years ago. Though I am relatively new to the field, I am learning fast and actively producing for Drupal. I am primarily working on back end development, though I occasionally am involved in front end development as well. I helped organize the Drupal Mountain Camp in Davos last year, for my first participation in a Drupal event, and really liked the atmosphere and the community.

Other topics of interest include and are not limited to: accessibility, machine learning (and what plants can teach us :D).

In this session, I want to highlight several aspects that have made it easier for me to give back to the community, even as a digital marketing manager. In my role, the ways to contribute are often far from obvious, so I'd like to highlight some recent activities I've done to support Drupal maintainers and developers. In doing so, I hope to encourage more non-developers within the community to find their way, and to kick-start potential collaborations for the future.

This session includes in particular:

How to find my place as a Marketer who wants to contribute
Ways of collaboration between developers and non-developers
Recent examples of contribution projects

Introduction of CKEditor 5 to Drupal core has improved the content creation experience for website editors. The new version of rich text editor offers a more intuitive and modern interface than its predecessor. The complete rewrite of core features have made it easier to produce high-quality content with less effort.

Drupal configuration process has undergone some changes, and it is essential to understand how to configure the editor when building new and upgrading existing websites. We will kick off by configuring CKEditor 5 for Drupal 10 highlighting practical tips and gotchas.

Some functionality provided by contrib modules might not be available, so we will list top Drupal modules that are currently updated to support CKEditor 5 and how site builders can utilise them to improve the content creation. If a specific functionality is not available, site builders can contribute back by identifying the gaps and sharing the findings with the community.

The best for the last, demo of the editor's premium features enhancing functionality relevant to teams such as real-time collaboration, revision history, and comments.

Overall, the presentation will showcase the improvements brought to Drupal by CKEditor 5, the changes to configuration process, and the Drupal modules and premium features available to improve the editor's functionality and collaboration.
