LatinGRAMMYs Before

LatinGRAMMY.com – Before

• Needed to update their website in time for the 14th annual Latin GRAMMY awards.

• The old content was not multilingual optimized.

type

Internationalization: The Achieve Way

Translation Capabilities

Filter form to quickly find strings that need to be translated

Filter between strings that have and have

not been translated, by language as well

Context based translation so the site admins can understand where it is being used and where it is coming from

Translation Interface

Translation sets

Menu items available under translation menu

Going Global with Panels

The Panels module offered the ability to give the LatinGRAMMY site flexibility and functionality with an easy to use and intuitive back-end interface.

Other benefits:• Multilingual capabilities• Quicker deployment time of new pages• Admin configurable• Extremely flexible • Multiple different page layouts• Caching options for improved performance• Scalability

Panels Homepage Functionality

Implemented detection on the block so each pane was detected and given a language

Certain block elements were not translatable with the block translation

Behind the scenes look at what the Panels layout looks like

Homepage Part II

Not all of the blocks had to be translated using the language detection, such as photos and videos

Homepage Part III

This method was not necessary for every pane, just a tool we implemented when needed

Content Admin Interface

Thumbnail of each content block to make content editing and entry easier for site admins

Intuitive back-end interface to enhance the UX for the site admins

Panels Admin Interface

35 Panels pages in total

The whole site was built on Panels
