Summary


We did it! Let's do a quick recap of this chapter.

First, we learned we don't need to do anything special for multilingual panels, but do need to use the Path Translation module for panel translation sets. Then, we took a look at some multilingual and international SEO tips and the top Drupal 7 SEO modules for friendly URLs, page titles, meta tags, and handling duplicate content.

After panels and SEO, we discussed translation management and workflow including specialized roles, administration functionality, and contributed modules. The chapter concluded with a brief look at theming and module development including Right-to-Left theme support, custom CSS, and string translation functions.

Well, we're done! I hope you enjoyed yourself. Have fun with your multilingual Drupal 7 website!
