This may well qualify as a Drupal cheap trick. But it is pretty darn useful if you ask me.

The use case - I have a custom content type for daycares. In it, daycare owners can advertize the number of available spaces they have at any time. Creating a list of daycares showing available spaces is, of course, easy with Views. But what if I would like to show the total number of available spaces for the listed daycares. How would I do that?

In my previous article, I've introduced a basic setup that will help you create a functional bilingual menu system. There are probably other ways of going it. But, so far, this method works for me.

If you follow and repeat the steps outlined in Setting up multilingual menus in D7, you should be able to create primary menus for an About us or a Services page with, say, the Page content type.

Here are the prerequisite for this article:

• A fresh & properly installed multilingual D7 website with Path prefix language code (e.g. "/en", "/fr", etc.).
• An enabled Language switcher block. To configure this block, go to  en/admin/structure/block.

If you need help setting up your website, perhaps you should first read How to setup a multilingual website with Drupal 7.

Setting up a basic Drupal website in English is relatively easy. Setting up a multilingual website isn't as obvious as you would hope it to be. Knowing a thing or two about how and where to find help on drupal.org is a must. See References for more information.

The present article does not address the topic of multilingual menus.

Alright, let's do it.
