I'm currently designing a CMS which needs to be able to handle different language versions of a page, when doing this certain questions has come up that perhaps experienced members of this list can answer :)
a) Should the url for a document in different languages be the same or different, ie "document.html/sida.html" vs "document.html?langID=1/document.html?langID=2" I'm leaning towards the second alternative since it's easier to manage but I could be wrong on this. b) documents resides in a separate directory for each language , but should the filenames for the different pages be the same or different? (my system is built so that actual url of a page and documents are separated) Personally I think it makes the most sense to have all the filenames in say english but one could go the other way and have the filenames in each language, I'm not sure of the cons and pros of this... Are there any other issues to keep in mind when doing multi-language sites? best regards --- Mattias Konradsson -- http://cms-list.org/ trim your replies for good karma.
