Kristen Pol - Drupal 7 Multilingual Sites

First, I'd like to say a very BIG thank you to Gbor Hojtsy and Jose Reyero for answering my questions and reviewing the book, and to Gbor for letting me use some of his helpful illustrations. These two have contributed an enormous amount of time and effort into improving the Drupal localization process. I'll buy you both a beer at the next DrupalCon!

A special thanks to Aimee Degnan and John Storey for giving useful feedback on the book, and to my local Drupal community, particularly the Santa Cruz user group members who beta tested the book exercises, namely, Linda Donohue, Paul Ferlito, Craig Harris, Mary Edith Ingraham, Jacob Miller, Forest Monsen, Murias O'Ceallagh, Darren Odden, Scott Patterson, Heather Reed, Darryl Richman, Don Skaggs, Rob Thorne, and Julia van der Wyk.

I'm also grateful to my very supportive husband, Josh Deutsch, and to my two wacky boys, Jacob and Aaron. Jacob said that I should mention here that "they didn't annoy me so that I could write the book." Well, at least that shows he had good intentions. I'm exceedingly lucky to have Cerise Cazet, an awesome kid-sitter (and video games for when she's not available!).

Next, I would like to thank the Drupal community at large for providing an interesting and fun environment for being a geek and for creating cool websites. I can't imagine working with any other framework. To keep things succinct, I haven't included the names of the wonderful module creators and maintainers in the book, but you know you rock!

Last of all, I'd like to give thanks to the people at Packt for making this happen. This is my first book and I've learned a lot.

Oh! And, thanks to you for reading this.
