Hi all. Going to be working on a multi-lingual project (my first). Whats the recommended add-on to use? It looks like Transcribe might be the best option, if I want to use Fluid field?

I like both transcribe and publisher. Publisher(lite) is more feature rich, and is a bit easier to get your head around. Publisher uses it’s own table for storing translations, while transcribe uses relationships. Publisher does not work well with fluid fields, but it does work fine with bloqs

Thanks, Jelle! In Publisher, do you manage all language options for an entry, in standard single entry screen?

If it’s a simple site you can do it with addon.. not always easy especially the url title but doable

@benoitlemay - The client will be posting frequent blog posts, so I’m thinking an add-on will help speed this up

I think it’s built faster with one of the 2 addons mentioned. There are other solutions (uq Structure and categories/tags/separate channels but that just complicates stuff
