Multilanguage sites (not 1:1) and Document Type 1:1
Hi, after hours spent to find a solution, it's time to ask you for the better one.
Scenario:
- multilanguage sites - hostnames added correctly and all work fine - under each root (/de/en) I have a NEWS menu that should contains the news list (all documents with document-type: "news") - another primary root (same level as languages) named "common/news" where store all documents with "news" as document-type. - the document-type "news" has one tab for each language and 1 tab for common details (shared between languages, as image or date for example).
What is the best way to have all the news (/common/news/...) under every language news page? A content picker in /LAN/news is one way but the link to the news detail will point under the /common/news root... to resolve I found another approach: i could create a page under /LAN/news (one for each news that I want to show) and link to its detail with a content picker but i don't want to create a news X times: 1 for each language and 1 for the common root.
Hmnn... Interesting topic. One solution I can think of atm is to, for instance, adding the id of the news-node to a querystring. Then you'll have one basic news-item page at each language. The content is generated from a xslt, which gets the appropriate node from the querystring and the fields from the current culture.
But if it's only two languages, I would go with a non 1:1 solution. Better SEO and more flexible. :)
Thank you Berntsen. This is a possible solution, but i would understand how peugeot.com does for its news (and 2 languages). For me it is a mistery... How is it possible mantain a nice url and the correct path, apparently, with common details (I think) to share between languages (photo and date as you can see) ? Especiallynot to insertthe samethingsseveral times.
It is not only 2 languages ;), not ever, but I would like tofindageneral method. If it exists.
Justknowwhichisthe mostlogicalorused, can Ichangemy method, because at present i'm lost...

de

common

-- news 1 (document-type "news")
-- news 2
Problem:
What is the best way to have all the news (/common/news/...) under every language news page?

How can I do? There is a "standard" solution?
Really thanks

Just know which is the most logical or used, can I change my method, because at present i'm lost...
is working on a reply...
