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

I recently got an internship offer as a Drupal/PHP trainee. I’m excited about the opportunity, but I know Drupal is a niche technology. I’m considering taking the internship for experience and learning other stacks like React, Node.js, Laravel or Python on the side to keep my career options open.
For context, I also have some frontend experience from a previous React internship, but only at a basic level. I’m trying to figure out if focusing on Drupal first and gradually improving my skills in other tech is a good strategy, or if I should look for a broader stack internship instead.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any advice, personal experiences, or tips would be super helpful!

Hi all. I've been playing with 11.3.2 and am curious why Gin is not the default admin theme, wasn't it supposed to be default for 11.3?
Also I tried to get namespaces working as I'm using storybook and want to use the components in my templates but I can't seem to get the namespaces to resolve.
i.e. atoms: src/components/atoms
Anyone have any ideas what could be causing them not to work?
Jan 27, 13:00 UTC Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed.
Jan 27, 09:00 UTC In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.
Jan 25, 09:28 UTC Scheduled - Start: 2026-01-27 09:00 UTC End: 2026-01-27 12:00 UTC
During the above window, our Networking team will be making changes to the core networking infrastructure to improve performance and scalability in the NYC3 region.
Expected impact:
We do not anticipate any downtime for Droplets or Droplet-related services, including Managed Databases, Load Balancers, App Platform, and Managed Kubernetes, as this maintenance has been carefully designed and tested to be seamless. In the unlikely event that an undetected misconfiguration occurs, a subset of customers could experience temporary network disruption. We will endeavor to keep this to a minimum for the duration of the change.
If you have any questions related to this maintenance, please send us a ticket from your cloud support page. https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/createticket

The file system is radio active disaster zone of files that I am 100% sure are mostly unused...
We just migrated the site to D11, and moved everything in to the media library, but theres still 12+GB of files that, as I said, are probably mostly not needed anymore.
Does anyone have a process, or documentation, or a guide of any kind on how to go about progromatically analyzing the content model, the actual usage in the database, with some sort of process to look for each file, and process them in some way to know which files are safe to delete?
