Hi All,

As I am new to Umbraco, I dont know much about multilingual frame work.Can anyone help me?
we are planning to implement multilingual thing in our website.While going through the Umbraco Forums, I saw one post,which has mentioned below:

The tab approach is only for those who tend to have exact 1 to 1 sites. It can be very cumbersome to work with long run, and there are other implications as well.

The second option you mentioned is the tree option. To get this to work, you can go in a multitude of ways. The primary method is to use separate domains for each language, which we all know is not always available. The second method is to use sub-directory style approach, which basically puts your home page into language sub-folders. (Example, TeeJet.com)

Sticking with the Second Option with method two, you have to do some manipulation in umbraco, which is already present. Simply assign the main domain (www.domain.com) to the root node (a simple doc type - assign any language), create a language folder doc type for holding the languages (this can be used later to define images, language text, etc). Create your site below this folder. You will need to assign a domain to each language folder (www.domain.com/language) with the corresponding language.

On the root node, you will have to do some redirection to point the user to the correct language/homepage. This can be done with a simple user control that uses the browser's language settings and redirects (should do 301 redirects) to the correct language, or you can do a selector page where the user would select the language manually.

Build in XSLT script templates will have to be modified to reference the site information from level 3, rather than level 2 in most cases, but, these are simple changes.

and one more solution is also there,which we can implement,by using language selector in all pages of our site.here i want to know how it will work when we select one particular language?if we wrote a xslt,then how can we call that macro to perform our task?

Can any one tell me which approach is best and how to implement?Brick wall

Waiting for reply.

Thanks In Advance,

Boo hoo!

Thanks & Regards,
Ammu
