In the previous part, we discussed about the Translation in Drupal 7 works with few snapshots and some makeovers. Now, lets discuss how to work with translation to translate the contents, field values and entity items.

1) Translating Menus

With Drupal core alone, user-defined menu items are not translatable. The Menu translation module, part of the Internationalization (i18n) package, allows users to select a translation mode for each menu.

The following modes are available:

• No Multilingual Options

• Translate and Localize

• Fixed Language

Translate and Localize Menus

There are two ways that menu items will be translated:

• You can set a language when creating a custom menu item so that the menu item will only show up for that language. Menu items that link to nodes in a particular language will be treated this way.

• You can localize other custom menu items without a language (for example, menu items linking to views pages). Use the Translate tab to translate the menu item title and description. Translators can also use the 'Translate interface' pages to translate these menu items.
