Samples for multilaguage sites

Tuesday 15 February 2005 8:43:05 am

I was reading the multilanguage discussion in the forums and I like to see some samples of multilanguage sites.

Are there some examples to watch?

Thanks a lot!

Nice site, nice example

The documentation is my problem in the moment.

How you handle the translationwork, do you seperate the languages totally or can you switch between the languages easily?

In other words can you publish one text (eg english) for all languages or you need to switch to the next language(eg french) and edit the article again?

I am thinking about news and if it possible to create one article for all languages?

Thanks

Articles that aren't translated remain in the default language for all other languages.

Hi Rob,

basically you have to create a separate siteacces in the "settings/siteacess" directory like "plain", "plain-fr", "plain-eng". Then you must edit the site.iniappned.php files of these separate siteaccess and match the access url to the siteaccess of each language

To reply to myself...

You need to use the fetch template function to retrieve the node details at the pagelayout level. I use subdomains to determine the different languages.

		{* Code to show list of translations *}
{let languages=hash('eng-GB',concat('<img class="flag" alt="English" src=',"en.gif"|ezimage,'/>'), 'esl-ES',concat('<img class="flag" alt="Spanish" src=',"es.gif"|ezimage,'/>'), 'fre-FR',concat('<img class="flag" alt="French" src=',"fr.gif"|ezimage,'/>'), 'ger-DE',concat('<img class="flag" alt="German" src=',"de.gif"|ezimage,'/>'))
  let lang_sub=hash('eng-GB','www','esl-ES','es','fre-FR','fr','ger-DE','de')
  let domain='.gv2006.org.uk.local/'

  thisnode=fetch(content, node, hash(node_id, $module_result.node_id)) }

    {section show=$thisnode.object.current.translation_list|count|gt(0)}
	    {section var=translation loop=$thisnode.object.current.translation_list}
                <a href={concat('http://',$lang_sub[$translation.language_code],$domain,$module_result.content_info.url_alias,'/(language)/',$translation.language_code)}>{$languages[$translation.language_code]}</a> 
            {/section}
    {/section}
