Translating Backdrop CMS

Without any special action, the Backdrop CMS user interface is presented in English. But of course the system can also be operated in other languages, e.g. Arabic, French, Hebrew, Persian, Spanish, Swedish, and many more.

In this session let's talk about,

  • how to equip a Backdrop website's user interface with multiple languages,
  • which tools can be used to translate the user interface individually,
  • how to help improve translations for the community on the Backdrop translation server.

Improving Backdrop Contrib documentation

I'd like to discuss the possibility of improving the documentation for contrib projects.  Not every project will need this and for many the README is all that is needed, but some use the Wiki.  Wikis are alright but they are not searchable, either internally or from Google.

I've been experimenting with VitePress (used for Lando documentation) as a Github Action to publish into pages.  At present, GitHub Pages are disabled in backdrop-contrib but perhaps this could change?

Configuration Recipes

In short, config recipes are simple modules that add functionality to your site mostly by adding some prepared configuration. They do not add new features that are not already available through Backdrop Core or existing contrib modules. 

Available config recipes at this time:
