Drupal 8's Multilingual APIs
summary
Drupal 8 exposes four concrete multilingual APIs: language manager for creating/configuring languages and negotiating current language, StringTranslationTrait and the translation service (returns translatable markup objects, not raw strings), the content-entity translation system with getTranslation and field-level translatability, and the config translation system that exports YAML per language and supports config overrides. Views integrates language at query and render time, routing/menu titles use YAML extraction, dependency injection is the recommended pattern, and the project evolves with contributions from over a thousand people.
