Support for multi language sites

[Tom30]

Hi!

Please add support for multi language sites.

Something with language switching by clicking on country flags.

Suggestion for the URL schema:

site/ => default language, e.g. English (make an optional language chooseable as default)
site/fr/ => optional language, e.g. French
site/de/ => optional language, e.g. German
...
site/en/ => optional language, e.g. English (so it can be reached by two addresses)

For a start it would be nice to have exactly the same pages in each language (just duplicate them from the original ones). After that they can be translated.

What do you think about that suggestion? I think it is a must-have for a good CMS.

Thanks for all your work!

Thanks for your answer.

So, I'm looking forward to this post 1.0 change!


Mmh, but what CMS can I use for my multi language site, now..?

Pimenu (by Piratos) also helps doing this,

There are some information / help available (but only in german - please use babelfish or other translation tool)

Tom30,

I could recommend other systems ... but I will not post them here. If you need to know one just send me a message and I will let you know which one I can recommend ... I use quite a lot of different CMS (free or commercial) for a variety of tasks.

But since I do not want to offend the folks here at CMSMS by recommending other software in public, I will only answer a private message. Hope this is okay ... if not, please remove this post.

Regards,
Nils

Yeah, I agree on this one.  CMSMS does have some missing functionality and it's probably a little while before it will be there.  I think it's best to help out people in the long run and suggest other systems that might have that crucial feature that we might be lacking still.

I just think of how I came across CMSMS while I was searching for a CMS that is based on Smarty ... that is not so long ago and CMSMS has already achieved a lot. Especially the community is one of the key strength we can offer (did I say we?) ... yet there are still problems to be solved and new features to be added. I absolutely agree.

But I would not recommend other systems here even though I work with quite a bunch of CMS. It is not very polite and so I will praise CMSMS in every way I can. Hail to you wishy, king of CMSMS!

Regards,
Nils

PS: And thank you Patricia, you made me blush!
