Is it possible/a good idea to run two sites (totally different domains) both with multiple languages (3 per site), on one umbraco instance/DB? (on v8)
My client would like to administer them all from just one instance for ease. I was thinking of just having 6 sites/roots on the one instance, they aren't large sites, 6 pages each.
ps dear umbraco HQ please bring tabs back on doc types :-)
Umbraco 8 in-built features is suitable for your needs. So, single instance with 2 websites and mult language is perfect fit.
In Umbraco 7, you will go with 6 sites/root but with v8 you need to just go with 2 sites/root and turn on variants feature to allow each site have multi language capability.
New approach, will allow you to have fallback content and most of your media items can be consistent and only content will change. For client, it would be better to go with new approach of 2 sites/root and turn on variants for 3 languages.
Multi language and Multi domain site

Please have a look at the language variants here. https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/getting-started/Backoffice/Variants/
Also initially, I had same reaction not seeing Tabs but then I found that hover on Content shows all the tabs and works nicely. Try it please.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Hi Shaishav
Thanks! I'll check that out, looks perfect for the project though!
Yes I saw the dropdown on content, still prefer the old tabs! maybe they should add an option in settings for which you prefer to display ?
