Hi Folks
The site I'm currently building has a requirement to be multilingual, and I just thought I'd ask for advice as to the best way to do this.
I'm aware that the two main ways to do this are either by setting up "/en/home.aspx", /fr/home.aspx" etc, or possibly using this method ->
http://www.umbraco.org/documentation/books/multilingual-11-sitesI think the "multilingual 1:1" method is not for me, as I already have heavily customised the normal page templates so adding new tabs for the content in various languages would make the admin a bit of a mess. I think that replicating the site structure in subdirectories is the way to go.
One (among many) thing that I don't get is how to keep a user on the same page when switching language, as per the peugeot website (http://www.peugeot.com/en/environment/technologies.aspx).
Another worry I have is with all my custom XSLT files for displaying page images, selecting "related content" etc etc. Will I need to recreate all xslt/macros again for the new languages? There are 4....
Any advice is appreciated
Cheers,
Dan
