Part of 🌱 META: Start providing tour tips for other core modules. Postponed

Problem/Motivation

Multilingual configuration is spread throughout the site. It would be useful to have a tour to help users know how to configure the site for multilingual.

Proposed resolution

Write individual tours for each core multilingual module feature. Provide a multipage tour to allow going from one tour to another. See:

#1942576: Tour tips to be able to link to other pages and start tour's automatically. →

Remaining tasks

Create tour yml files for the following. Some features can be combined into the same tour.

These should be included in the multipage tour:

#2017471: Multilingual tour for language section →
📌 Multilingual tour for user profile page Postponed
#2017475: Multilingual tour for interface translation section →
📌 Multilingual tour for content translation settings Postponed
📌 Multilingual tour for content translation process Postponed
📌 Multilingual tour for language switcher block Postponed

These should NOT be included in the tour since the defaults are sane (or maybe there can be advanced tours?):

Detection and selection page (admin/config/regional/language/detection)

Enable/disable new detection and selection settings
Reorder detection and selection settings
Configure URL setting (subpage = admin/config/regional/language/detection/url)
Configure Session setting (subpage = admin/config/regional/language/detection/session)
Configure Browser setting (subpage = admin/config/regional/language/detection/browser)
Configure Selected language setting (subpage = admin/config/regional/language/detection/selected)

There will be other tours if the Configuration Translation module lands:

D8UX usability

D8MI
(Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative) is the tag used by the multilingual initiative to mark core issues (and some contributed module issues). For versions other than Drupal 8, use the i18n (Internationalization) tag on issues which involve or affect multilingual / multinational support. That is preferred over Translation.
