If your organization serves people in more than one country, an English-only website sends a quiet message about who it's actually built for.
For the Green Chemistry Teaching and Learning Community, that gap was worth closing. GCTLC connects educators, researchers, and students across 175 institutions worldwide. We added multilingual support using GTranslate on Drupal — six languages alongside English, with a language switcher that drops right into the existing site design.
One detail that made a real difference: we applied the translation widget to both the public site and the admin theme. That meant educators writing and submitting content in their native language could actually use the forms they needed most. A French-speaking teacher submitting a lesson plan shouldn't have to navigate an English-only interface to contribute their work.
