I'm setting up a new project in Umbraco v8.1.5 for a client and it needs to be multi-lingual. I'd like to use the latest and greatest multi lingual features of Umbraco v8 but need a little guidance and I need some advice on how best to architect it and structure the content nodes and assign the languages. Here are the client requirements and assumptions:
Current site has /en and /es sites.
The structure of the sites are not identical and products per country can be different also so its not 1:1 throughout but is 1:1 per country.
Products would therefore be offered per country but could also be in different languages (for that country eg en-US, es-US)
Client will expand into more countries with multiple language requirements further down the line.
Questions:
1) What is the best way to structure the content nodes? (eg by country, then language? or just each lang-country content structure home page as a root node?
2) What is the best way to utilise default / mandatory / fallback language settings in this case?
3) What is the best way to manage country / language selection (as I'm not sure I'd want to have both a country and language picker.
All advice is very appreciated! Thanks in Advance.

I would be interested too. How does Umbraco manage a multi-country multi-language installation? Thanks, Giorgio
