Following up on an older post: building Drupal through AI

A while ago someone on this sub posted about an AI exclusively for building Drupal sites that could do anything like modules, bug fixes, full builds, the whole site build. It stuck with me, as Drupal is pitched as a way for non-tech people to build websites with but getting to that point requires tech skills to lay the foundation.

Can see my previous posts about my progress so far (basically able to get a custom Drupal site running in ddev just from prompts) but wanted to pause and get some feedback from people who'd actually use this:

- Is chat the right interface, or would you rather have something more structured (wizards, forms, config-driven)?

- Where's your "doing this myself" line drawn? Content modeling? Custom entities? Views? Theming?

- If generic LLMs + your own workflow already cover 80% of this, what would the remaining 20% need to look like?

Just want to know if this is worth finishing or if most of you have already solved this with Cursor/Claude Code and I'm building a solution to a shrinking problem.

Native AI translation in TMGMT: How to automate workflows without losing context or layout integrity

Hi everyone,

If you’ve managed large multilingual Drupal sites, you know the TMGMT module is a good way to go, but the actual translation process (especially with AI) can still feel a bit disconnected from the site's context.

We built an integration that lives directly inside TMGMT. The goal was to solve three specific issues:

  1. Context: Choosing between 'Faithful', 'Fluid', or 'Creative' styles based on the content type.
  2. Consistency: Using translation memories and glossaries so the AI doesn't hallucinate brand terms.
  3. Layout: Ensuring the translated strings don't break your site's design.

We’re hosting a live, hands-on session on May 7th at 11 AM CEST to show the technical setup and how it handles complex nodes.

Registration (Free): https://laratranslate.com/webinar-lara-translate-sparkfabrik

Roberto Peruzzo from Sparkfabrik will be there to dive into the dev side of things. If you have questions about TMGMT provider configurations or AI localization workflows, feel free to drop them here or join us live!

How is theme update handled with Drupal CMS site templates?

I have always created my own themes. This time, I am thinking of using the Mercury theme that comes with Drupal CMS. I am not sure how the theme updates are handled later with the themes that come with site templates. If I use Mercury and make changes, should I be worried if the updates can break my changes later? Should I create a sub-theme, or can I use Mercury directly without worrying about updates?

Manage Displays: Canvas vs Display Builder (Part 2)

New article: Today we compare the manage display (of nodes and entities) capabilities of Canvas and Display Builder. As always: Any feedback is appreciated 🖖

> When building a Drupal site, we want to control how our content looks in different contexts, e.g. the full display for standalone or the card display for overview pages. In Part 2 of this series we compare how Drupal Canvas and Display Builder handle display configuration by building a node display for a blog content type.
