Correctly Nest Entities and Build Healthy Multilingual Relationships
As component-based #design principles evolve, the actual implementation in #Drupal can be performed in many ways. Most, if not all, component-based site building approaches rely on Entity Relationships. Adding multilingual support that is Correct and Predictable can be a challenge to configure. In this session, we'll surface best practices of #Multilingual configuration with entity relationships.
Oh, but how many types of entity relationships are there? It shouldn't be that hard, right? Paragraphs, Layout Builder, referenced nodes, custom entities, media entities, taxonomy terms. The list goes on.
And did you want to nest those entities? How many blocks can include other blocks that include Paragraphs that include taxonomy terms and Media Entities? Hmm... does this sound familiar? Perhaps a highly configurable component?
And how many permutations of "multilingual" can there be? Well, there is #translation vs. #localization. Each requiring Drupal's CMS and page display to be configured for Correct and Predictable Display. Even for those complex nested entities.
We'll cover:
Common multilingual use-cases and configuration approach with nesting
Considerations with leading component-based site-building architectures
Tools that exist in the community, and those that may need to be developed!
Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
Understand the challenges of multilingual and entity relationships
Identify use-cases that they may leverage on their sites
Make good decisions architecting their multilingual site-building strategy
And more!
Target Audience
This session is geared for seasoned site-builders, themers, or developers that need to provide multilingual component-based solutions to their clients.
Although beginners can find some value, we are going to cover a lot of topics and terms, assuming the audience will understand them.
Prerequisites
Attendees will get the most out of this session by being familiar with:
Site-building principals
Content entities and their creation
Component-based design principles and implementation in Drupal
Understanding of entity relationships, how to create them, and how Drupal renders them
Basic understanding of multilingual configurations (come along for the ride if there is no previous experience)
