## Providing translations in an additional language for the dataportal module

see #5911

## Configuration of Dataportal drupal site for multilanguage support

### 1) Install the required modules 

see #5913 for further details, with the following command the modules are downloaded and installed (first download and then install would be drush dl ... and afterwards drush en ...)

~~~

drush -l {site-url} en languageicons i18n i18n_menu i18n_node i18n_string i18n_translation i18n_variable l10n_update

~~~

Afterwards the modules should be available in the dataportal where they can be activated:

and the additional language needs to be added:

--------

The files (for example cdm_dataportal.es-po) for translations can be found in portal code under modul/cdm_dataportal/translations/

In this folder there is also a note on automatic installation of translations (README):

~~~

The translations can be named as $langcode.po or with names ending with $langcode.po.

Translations are only automatically imported during the installation of the module for

all the languages already set up on the site,

see https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes!locale.inc/function/locale_batch_by_component/8.x for details.

If the module is already enabled you need to disable and re-enable it. Alternatively you can use the following drush command:

drush php-eval "locale_system_update(array('yourmodule_name'));drush_backend_batch_process();"

~~~
