Hello to all, i have a site that contains 60+ pages and i must build it in 4 languages. I have previously used MLE CMS module in other sites with great results, but i don't think this will work on this project, since there are too many pages and it will be difficult for the editors to add-edit content etc. I have also used CMSMS Multilanguage (fork) in the past but the project is now way behind (last version was 1.8.2), if not "dead", and i' don't want to build a new site using this older version.
I'm asking for your advice, should I consider going with the old CMSMS MLE "fork" or is there a workaround that i'm maybe missing so that i can have a more user friendly way of adding-editing content using MLECMS module? Also, any other ideas are welcome since i'm really stuck.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Multilingual site with 60+ pages
My personal solution: I install a cms for each language. No special adaptations to the template so everything stays super simple for the editors.

Thank you staartmees, that's an idea...
Re: Multilingual site with 60+ pages
Take a look at Google translate maybe an option.
Re: Multilingual site with 60+ pages
Google translate is not an option, every page must be written by editors...
Re: Multilingual site with 60+ pages
Sure just depends on what the client requires, how accurate it needs to be, how much a client is willing to pay etc etc.
I am about to do one or two sites which need to multilingual any idea how accurate Google translate is?

Google Translate? Well as Manuel the waiter from Fawlty Towers says:"Chaai speeek Inglishshsh very weeeelll, I leurned it froom aaa booook".
Re: Multilingual site with 60+ pages
Yes, google translate is maybe an option for a personal blog or something but not for a professional web page I think. The thing is, more and more customers are asking for multilingual sites these days especially in Europe and i think going multilingual for cmsms is the way forward.
