Multilingual Tokens

Overview

The Multilingual Tokens module provides language-specific tokens for translatable content entities. These tokens allow you to display content in a specific language, regardless of the current site language.

This is useful for multilingual emails, notifications, exports, and any scenario where you need to output translated content in a language different from the current page language.

Token Format

[entity-type:field-name:_lang_LANGCODE]

Where:

• entity-type — the type of entity (e.g., node, user, taxonomy_term)
• field-name — the name of the field (e.g., title, body)
• LANGCODE — the language code (e.g., en, uk, de, fr, pt-br)

Examples

• [node:title:_lang_uk] — Node title in Ukrainian
• [node:body:_lang_en] — Node body in English
• [taxonomy_term:name:_lang_de] — Term name in German
• [node:field_description:_lang_fr] — Custom field in French

Use Cases

• Multilingual emails — Send order confirmations in the customer's preferred language
• Data exports — Export content in a specific language for external systems
• Pathauto patterns — Create URL aliases using translations
• Metatags — Set language-specific meta descriptions

Requirements

• Drupal 10.2+ or 11
• Language module (core)
• Content Translation module (core)
• Token module

For Developers

The module dispatches a TokenReplacementEvent before processing each multilingual token, allowing other modules to customize or override the token replacement logic. See README.md for details.
