Hi,
as i needed a multilang version, i've installed the 1.0beta4-multilang and i've to say that i'm very pleased with it

.
But i would like to use the more stable version and i was asking myself if it was necessary to upgrade to the 1.0.2 version, without loosing every features about multilang management?
I'm interested about all experiences.
I hope my question is understandable...

No, should not work. Multilang project is an inofficial version and without support. Please ask a multilang developer if they plan to hack current version.

thanks for your answer.
So, waiting the multilang official version, i could duplicate all the files in 2 folders at the root "/lang1" and "/lang2", with two separated admin and twice of tables in the Msql Database...
But I wonder if it's possible to get so many tables in the database?
If someone experienced that, please just let me know.

2 separate admins are not needed. Use instead 2 top levels (content type: link) for languages and put the pages in these content trees.
Have create a temporary and very simple example here

Write the link to the first page of every language in URL field.

thanks for the answer
but as i got problem with my menu and breadcrumbs, because of the additional level, i think i'm gonna duplicate the files and get 2 admin and a lot of tables... FIXED!
How? With the following steps :
- add 2 top levels (content type: link) for languages and put the pages in these content trees
- write the link of the first page of every language in URL field
- if you don't want to display the additionnal top level added in the menu (english, french...) use the TAG {cms_module module='menumanager' start_level="2"}, then the first level won't be displayed
- for the breadcrumbs, don't use root='alias_of_your_home' to display the value of the filed menu text of your top level language link content and use initial='1' to avoid starting the breadcrumbs with a delimiter (default 0).
- use a different template for the homepage of every language to skip breadcrumbs TAG (you can write by yourself : You are here : homepage)
And you get your CMSMS in its last stable version ready for multilang use!
