A tutorial on migrating translated content from CSV, JSON, XML and other non-drupal sources to Drupal 8. This example uses the "migrate" module and data stored in CSV files.

A tutorial on migrating translated content from Drupal 6 to Drupal 8 using the "migrate" module.

Since the release of Drupal 8, Drupal 6 is no longer supported by the Drupal Community. Because of this, many sites need to be migrated to Drupal 7 or 8, and quickly!

That means that at Evolving Web we've been doing a lot of Drupal migration projects lately. I would like to talk about the things we have to take into account when running these projects.

As of December 4th, 2016, at least 82,000+ sites are running Drupal 6. Since Drupal 6 is no longer actively supported by the Drupal community, a lot of people urgently need to migrate to a newer version! So, what if you have of those sites and want to move to the most recent Drupal version?

You've found an old blogpost! Drupal 8 reached end of life on November 2, 2021.

Read about reasons to upgrade to Drupal 10 or our Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 migration guide instead. 

We just upgraded our site to Drupal 8, and a big part of that was migrating content. Most content was in JSON files or SQL dumps, which are supported by Drupal's migrate module. But what about images and other files? How could we bring those along?

We'll show how to write a custom migrate process plugin!
