    multilingual website

    Hi,

    I decided to take a jump, and do a first production website in Umbraco. My customer wants a multilingual website, so I want to setup these folders under 'Content':

    nl-Be
    -- home
    -- page1
    -- page2
    -- ....

    fr-FR
    -- home
    -- page1
    -- page2
    -- ....

    What I don't really grasp for the moment is if I have to have multiple domain names for this structure, or if I can have one domain name and then let Umbraco do the redirection to the proper language folder, based on client browser settings or language choosing (flag) of the webvisitor.

    Thanks for your advice,

    Anthony Candaele

    Umbraco has no build-in client browser language detection so you'll need different URL's (not TLD's per se).

    Thanks Yannick,

     

    After doing some search, I found these interesting references on setting up a multilingual site under a single domain:

    http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/running-multi-lingual-sites-under-a-single-domain

    I also found some interesting blog posts by Tim Geyssens on adding a language selector to your site:

    and .Net User Controls and the Umbraco Diconary:

    greetings,

    Anthony

    Hi Yannick,

    I'm indeed a Umbraco.tv subscriber. I checked out already the episode on multiple sites and domains, but not the episode on synching websites with events and the relationship-api as I didn't know this last episode was relevant to multilingual sites.

    Thanks for the tip,

    Anthony
