Installing the required modules
The i18n module will allow your site to easily display content in multiple languages.
Extract the downloaded archive into ${DRUPAL_HOME}/sites/all/modules/ where ${DRUPAL_HOME} is your root of your Drupal 6 installation. After extracting the module, a new directory will be created:
- ${DRUPAL_HOME}/sites/all/modules/i18n
Enable the multi-language modules
- http://yourdomain.com/admin/build/modules
- Administer > Site Building > Modules
- Enable all the modules under "Multilanguage" and save the configuration. *
* Note: This site has been updated to the 6.x.1.1 release of i18n.
i18n version used in this tutorial:
| Official releases | Date | Size | Links | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Additional modules:
You may also want to enable the path module at this point if it's not already enabled. This will enable translated content to be found more easily.

Provide the URL to download the translation.
One must download the translations from http://drupal.org/project/Translations
and extract them in the Drupal directory. This is an important step.
Menu translation
Any updates on menu translations in the latest versions?
The bug in the i18nmenu
The bug in the i18nmenu module has been fixed and has been committed to CVS. I don't know when a new release will be done, hopefully it wont be too long.
