Administration Language
================================================================================

Summary
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Administration Language module makes sure all administration pages are
displayed in the preferred language of the administrator. Which pages are
considered administration pages can be configured. Users with the right
permissions can choose to use either the global administration language or a
language of their choice.


Requirements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Administration Language module requires the Locale (core) module.


Installation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Copy the admin_language folder to sites/all/modules or to a site-specific
   modules folder.

2. Go to Administer > Site building > Modules and enable the Admin Language
   module.


Configuration
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Go to Administer > Site configuration > Languages and choose the language
   you want to use as the administration language.

2. Go to Administer > Users > Permissions and grant your administrator role the
   'display admin pages in another language' permission.

3. (Optional) Go to Administer > Site configuration > Languages > Administration
   language and select which paths should use the selected administration
   language. By default, all pages on the site are affected.

4. (Optional) Go to Administer > Site configuration > Languages > Administration
   language and select whether you want to remove the administration language in
   the language dropdown on the node edit form (requires that the Content
   translation module is enabled).

5. (Optional) Enable the 'Language switcher (without administration language)'
   block if you need a language switcher block which doesn't display the
   administration language.

6. (Optional) Go to My account or another user/<uid>/edit page to choose a
   different admin language than the global default.


Permissions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The module offers the following permissions:

"display admin pages in another language": Grant this permission to roles which
should be able to access the site using the selected administration language.

"use all enabled languages": The module makes it possible to hide the selected
administration language from certain parts of the interface (e.g. the node form
and the user form). Grant this permission to roles which should be able to use
all enabled languages on the site.


Supported modules
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Administration menu

The latest version of the module supports the Administration menu module. By
changing a setting you can use the current administration language to display
the administratione menu (e.g. having the content displayed in Danish and the
administration menu displayed in English).


Known issues
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The module has not been thoroughly tested with the Internationalization (I18N)
module. If you encounter any issues when using these modules together, please
create an issue in the Administration language issue queue on drupal.org.
