LatinGRAMMYs Before
LatinGRAMMY.com – Before
• Needed to update their website in time for the 14th annual Latin GRAMMY awards.
• Previous site offered a poor User Experience (UX).
• The old content was not multilingual optimized.
• Site was not mobile optimized.
• There was a lack of brand consistency between LatinGRAMMY.com and GRAMMY.com
The Challenge
The Task at Hand
• Enhance the User Experience (UX) of the new platform.
• Develop a fully functional multilingual site to include the following languages:
• English
• Spanish
• Portuguese
• Migrate over 1,000 pages of pre-existing content.
• Implement a fully Responsive theme.
The Solution

Internationalization: The Achieve Way
Translation Capabilities
Filter form to quickly find strings that need to be translated
Filter between strings that have and have
not been translated, by language as well
Context based translation so the site admins can understand where it is being used and where it is coming from
Translation Interface
Translation sets
Menu items available under translation menu
Going Global with Panels
The Panels module offered the ability to give the LatinGRAMMY site flexibility and functionality with an easy to use and intuitive back-end interface.
Other benefits:• Multilingual capabilities• Quicker deployment time of new pages• Admin configurable• Extremely flexible • Multiple different page layouts• Caching options for improved performance• Scalability
Panels Homepage Functionality
Implemented detection on the block so each pane was detected and given a language
Certain block elements were not translatable with the block translation
Behind the scenes look at what the Panels layout looks like
Homepage Part II
Not all of the blocks had to be translated using the language detection, such as photos and videos
Homepage Part III
This method was not necessary for every pane, just a tool we implemented when needed
Content Admin Interface
Thumbnail of each content block to make content editing and entry easier for site admins
Intuitive back-end interface to enhance the UX for the site admins
Panels Admin Interface
35 Panels pages in total
The whole site was built on Panels
