[ckan-dev] CKAN multilingual examples?

Tue Jun 23 12:51:26 UTC 2015

As others have pointed out, for the static strings on the site you can use
the built-in CKAN translations. The .ini lets you specify which languages
should be supported.

If you also need multi-lingual metadata, we use
https://github.com/open-data/ckanext-fluent and
https://github.com/open-data/ckanext-scheming. Those two together give you
multi-lingual metadata forms. Together with the static extension you can
have a completely multilingual site.
