Code

function example_profile_details() {
    return array(
        // These two strings will be displayed on the initial profile-selecion
        // page, as a radio-button label, and description below. Because the
        // page is shown before language selection, there's no point to attempt
        // translation in any way; it's always shown in English. But however,
        // if the profile is focused to install Drupal in some other language,
        // these strings may be provided in that language, assuming that the
        // maintainer of the installed new Drupal site understands that better.
        // To skip the untranslatable profile-selection page entirely, ensure
        // that there's just one profile available, by deleting the default
        // profile.
'name' => 'Example installation profile',
        'description' => 'This is an example installation profile for Drupal 6.x, demonstrating some of the principles to developers.',
        // This example profile is supposed to be language-focused, so we
        // inject the language selection here, hiding the language selection
        // screen from the user, and so saving one unnecessary, untranslatable
        // step. Any profile focused to features rather than language, or
        // expecting more languages to choose from, should omit the line below.
        // We're using Czech as an example here; it only works if a valid file
        // cs.po (with installer translations) is provided in the
        // profiles/example/translations directory, otherwise default English
        // will be used instead.
