Seems like every time anyone says anything remotely critical of Drupal here the fanboy population downvotes the dissent into silence, the kind of behavior one expects of cults and religious organizations. I loved Drupal as much as everyone else here, started with version 5 and for 12 years made good money using it daily, but let's not be blind to the trend folks, no amount or downvotes will change facts backed by hard data!

For the last 2 days I have not been able to log into Drupal. This "Press and Hold" challenge is not passable. There's something about it that makes it impossible to satisfy.

Am I the only that's being blocked by this?

Hey folks, sharing something we just shipped for Drupal multilingual teams.

I work on Lara Translate, and together with SparkFabrik, we built a TMGMT provider that lets editors translate Drupal content with AI directly in Drupal, instead of copying and pasting into external tools.

What it does (in plain terms)

• Use Lara Translate as a translation provider in TMGMT
• Send nodes, paragraphs, and other entities to translation
• Automatically pull translations back into Drupal with job statuses (in progress, completed, errors)
• Keep the full Drupal workflow: roles, permissions, revision history, approvals, governance

On the Lara side, the integration exposes:

• Style control (Faithful / Fluid / Creative)
• Glossaries + Translation Memories
• Ambiguity flags + explanations to help reviewers focus on the risky bits

(Also, outside Drupal, Lara Translate supports broad document workflows too, including 70+ file types if your team translates CMS content and files in parallel.)

Who this is for

If your multilingual Drupal site is “serious” (universities, public institutions, enterprise, regulated, or brand-sensitive content), you probably already know the pain:

• tone drifting across locales
• terminology inconsistencies across hundreds of nodes
• translations living in spreadsheets and inboxes instead of your CMS

Quick setup steps

1. Install TMGMT + the Lara Translate Provider module
2. Add your Lara API credentials in TMGMT Providers
3. Set defaults (style, job settings), then run a small pilot (news or low-risk content)
4. Scale out, keep humans in the loop for high-impact pages

We’re also planning a free webinar in Q2 2026 with SparkFabrik (date TBA) to show real workflows in TMGMT.

I’d love feedback

If you’ve implemented AI translation in Drupal already:

• What broke first for you: quality, workflow, governance, SEO, something else?
• Do you prefer “AI in the CMS” or “translation platform + connector” setups, and why?

Happy to answer technical questions too.
