    Hi Nathan,

    Is there now way you can move your client on to Umbraco 8?

    If I was you I would try and lean them towards a rebuild of their current website in Umbraco 8. As long as the website is not too big that is.

    The reason is one of the biggest improvements of Umbraco 8 is how great it is to create multi lingual sites.

    There is a new featured called Language Variants. https://umbraco.com/blog/umbraco-8-language-variants/

    It works so well and makes managing multi language sites so easy.

    If its not too much of a big job I would defo recommend trying to rebuild in Umbraco 8. There is no upgrade path unfortunately so it would be a re-build.

    Regards

    David

    Thanks Dave,

    Actually the client did say she wanted a revamp so this may be a good time to upgrade the site,

    I've had a quick look through the documentation and the language variants look awesome, Hope fully should make my job a little easier.

    Hi Nathan,

    Sounds like that's the best way forward. If you do get stuck with Umbraco 7 this link might help you.
