dual-lingual site - how/which way?

Tuesday 20 May 2003 7:01:03 pm

I'm about to try to set up ezPub 3 as a corporate website, and I want to have it so I can have both norwegian (default) and english pages.

Would it be best to set up two sections, like /no/ and /en/ and have the same folders under each (most of the articles and info is the same, just diff languages), or is it easier to just have one section and two article for each "topic" - using templates perhaps?

I guess I'm not the first one who want to display more or less the same site in two languages/translations?

This is perhaps only part of what I want...

Let me try to explain what I want to achive

http://admin.mysite.com --> open admin site
http://www.mysite.com --> open norwegian site - default/always
http://www.mysite.com/en -> open english site

Looking at the demosite data and configurations, opening
http://www.mysite.com and http://www.mysite.com/no could/should give me the same result? Do I need to make a /no/ folder in

settings/siteaccess?

At the demodata again.. it shows me a webpage with the demo template (and it's overrides). As I've said, opening

www.demosite.com or www.demosite.com/demo results in the same page. All links is like

www.demosite.com/demo/content/view/full/159/. BUT, changing /demo/ to, lets say /user/ -

www.demosite.com/user/content/view/full/159/ gives me the same content but with another design.
In my case, I don't think want to mix the content like this - so this should in my case (/no/ and /en/) result in showing an error or just displaying the default page for that site.

As a newbie to ezPub I am, all these folders, sections, siteaccess, matchorder etc is quite confusing..

And as I want to have both norwegian and english content, do I need to install both languages during setup? Does the translation function(s) translate more than the links and text on the admin page?
