I have two sites with the possiblity adding another 2 in future.
Site 1 would be English.
Site 2 would be German.
The purpose of the site is to have the admin area as the input area for products. I can create the option so they select English or German so they enter the product in the relevant language (I think this maybe better than translating English to another language but if not I'm happy to see what others do)
I'm creating an ascx control and wondered how I can display the appropriate product in the appropriate language on the Umbraco frontend?
Create first root node and assign language (eg. en)
Create other root nodes and assign diferent language (de, it, ...)
Create another root node and name it Products (or Catalogues if you
planing to have more collections like eg. events or news and put
them inside Catalogues)
At each’product’, create area with fileds as you like -> convert it
to NestedContent as 1-1 to get DataType.
Then in particular site (inside mentioned roots) load ‘products’ -
umbraco knows what language it has, and automatically pick product
data from Vorto for particular language
Combination of NestedContents and Vorto is very powerful.
Of course there are some work to be done, but the solution is quite elegant while you have centralized catalogues data in all languages - independend from content site(s). You can then program custom lists and pickers for particular products (using MultinodeTreePicker etc)
(just I don’t know where to put your .ascx file - with U7 I suppose you are using MVC)

Hi
You can do like this (we do always like this):
