    Shared content multilanguage website best practices

    Would would be the best approach for the following scenario:

    I have a large .co.uk website with a lot of content and everything runs fine as it is. 

    I now want to copy this site to another english speaking TLD under the same umbraco instance and perhaps change a few bits here and there in the content.

    But in normal operations I want to be able to edit content on the old website and have this reflected in the new too, without me having to edit in to places.

    I would prefer not to tamper to much with the document templates as they are, ie. not introduce new language fields and having to amend rendering in the templates.

    My inital thought was if one was able to utilise the related node api and only render new TLD content if a particular marker had been set on the content. But I don't seem to be able to do that easily.

    Any thoughts?

    How about making use of the property Related Content ? I once used this for a mobile website under the same umbraco instance where i only wanted to pull content from anothe node.

    Perhaps it could be achieved by writing a macro that does some checking and then does an internal redirect, based on the relation, with Server.Transfer .

    Recently we created an umbraco instance for serving data to multiple sites. We used web api to simply return the xml cache.
