The European Accessibility Act came into force in June 2025, raising WCAG AA compliance from a best practice to a legal requirement for most web projects in the EU. Among the criteria that standard covers, WCAG 3.1.2 is one of the most consistently missed in editorial workflows: it requires that any change of language within a page be identified in the markup. Content that mixes languages is nearly universal, since any site writing in Spanish will borrow English terms, and any site writing in English does the same in the other direction. That language-mixing fails this criterion silently, and most sites have no mechanism in place to fix it. Drupal 10 and later ship with a native solution in Core that requires no extra modules, and the gap between sites that comply and sites that fail is almost always just a matter of awareness.

The accessibility gap: foreign words

Accessibility now carries weight on two fronts at once. It improves SEO, and it is a legal requirement. Since the European Accessibility Act came into force in June 2025, meeting WCAG level AA stopped being a good practice and became a legal must for any web project.

One of the most frequent mistakes when authoring content sits right at this intersection: using a word or expression from another language without identifying or marking it semantically. The most common case is writing in your main language and reaching for loanwords. A text in Spanish borrows…

Druxt's Drupal module carries a list of twelve JSON:API resources it answers for. It's been the same twelve since 2021, hardcoded in a PHP array, and changing it has meant carrying a patch.

1.3.0, tagged today, makes that list yours. The twelve stay exactly as they are, so nothing a site exposes changes when it updates. What is new is being able to choose, and the first thing I would choose is the one my frontend has always had to guess at: the toolbar an administrator configured for a text format.

A CORS default ships in the same release. If you keep a proxy rule in front of your frontend so that authenticated calls succeed, this is the release where you delete it.

Beta 5 release of Drupal AI Context Beta 5 of Drupal AI Context , also known as Context Control Center (CCC), is now available. This is expected to be the final beta release, and an RC 1 release should be available soon. CCC helps Drupal sites provide governed, reusable context for AI workflows and agents, from brand voice and editorial standards to organisational knowledge and governance rules. This gives AI systems access to more structured and relevant information while allowing teams to manage that information centrally. Following the beta 4 release , beta 5 has been shaped by extensive community testing and an expanded scope. The community testing revealed refinements for a more intuitive user experience, and several features earmarked for 1.1 have been brought forward into 1.0.
