But for non-english speakers (french users in our example, but this is not restrictive), whereas a basic drupal installation in their language is now a basic, when it comes to "can't live without them" modules, <strong>UI is often only in English</strong>. When a big institutional customer has to benchmark different CMSes, this can plague drupal.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-bio-booklet"> <div class="field-label">Speaker bio:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> CEO of Open Web Solutions : in the LAMP web development since 2001, I&#039;ve discovered drupal 3 years ago and can not live without it ever since !

Language has always been a major element for building a society's identity and it is not different for indigenous peoples in Brazil. If a language have less space and less space in its speakers' lives, it will shrink and may become endangered.
