The Translation Management Tool (TMGMT) module provides a system to manage the translation of your Drupal content. It supports translating text from various sources, either through manual user input or by integrating with external translation services, and can be used in automated workflows.
The Translation Management Tool (TMGMT) module provides a tool set for translating content from different sources. The translation can be done by people or translation services of all kinds. It builds on and uses existing language tools and data structures in Drupal and can be used in automated workflow scenarios.
This module does not make any other language module for Drupal obsolete. It does only facilitate the translation process.
You can try out TMGMT in a Demo built on simplytest.me.
Features
Sources
All Drupal text elements can be used as source for translation:
- Nodes
- Entities
- I18n Strings (Menu, Terms etc.)
A plugin architecture allows for the introduction of additional text sources (internal and external). Details see Sources Architecture
Translation Services
External translation services can be used for creating a foreign language version of the source text. Or it can be presented to a user for translation. A plugin architecture allows for the integration of additional services.
For the time being you have the choice of these services (Note that this list is not maintained anymore and that it is recommended to add related projects to the TMGMT Ecosystem page on their project page):
Included
- Export and import via xliff and HTML
- Local Translator (Allows users to translate jobs)
Translation Service Providers
Note This list is incomplete and might be removed in the future in favor of ecosystem page. Integrations and related modules should instead add themself to the ecosystem list by adding TMGMT to the Ecosystem field on their project page.
