I have installed Umbraco and it works like a charm. Now I was thinking about making my site multi language.

Are there any ideas here on how to solve this nicely?

My idea was to add an extra tab to content items and use the xslt to check what language that needs to be shown.

Any hints or suggestions?

The best way to go about this is to create a language-doctype, which is to be placed below the root-element. At the root-element create a "default" language, which is a content-picker that redirects to the default language page. ex.
www.mydomain.com -> www.mydomain.com/en

Another option is having two text-fields on each page, which have each their language, but this will be far from as flexible as having to seperate structures.

In my implementation I have also created some properties on each language type, like cultureinfo strings for formatting dates to the current language, name of language (which is also used to reference the "select language links on the top) etc.
We run with 10 subsidiary websites, each having 2-4 languages, and this setup runs just fine.

Hi, a want to build a multilanguage site, but I don't know exactly what is the best way to do this.
Unfortunatly I don't understand the explanation above.
So maybe someone could explain it again, in a more detailed way.
Thanks,
Phillip
