Multinlingula Sites and Methodology

[John Jonathan Kopanas]

As a programmer from Quebec, a lot of the sites I have to work on have to be bilingual.  Just as a clarification, they only have to be in French but most people want them in English because they do business outside of Quebec.  Do not let me get started with the politics here in Quebec, if it was not for the women I would be long gone :-).  Ok, where was I, oh yes multilingual sites.  I was wondering if anyone has come up with their own personal methodologies on using Fusebox and creating multilingual sites to fulfill the following requirements:   - it is easy to add a new language to the site - the logic is not duplicated - Images might have to change for each language   What I don't want to do:   - I don't want to have to create a new directory for every language and copy over the site and just change the text and the tables I reference.   Some possible solutions: - have the display pages in the different languages and keep the action pages the same and just add language conditions to the actions pages.  Therefore the amount of switch cases would increase.   ex)   <cfwitch case="example">     <cfinclude template="act_process.cfm">     <cfinclude template="dsp_display.cfm"> </cfswitch> <cfwitch case="example_fr">     <cfinclude template="act_process.cfm">     <cfinclude template="dsp_display_fr.cfm"> </cfswitch>   - another way to go would be is to pass language in query string and append it onto the file name in swtich so it chooses file according to language   <cfwitch case="example">     <cfinclude template="act_process.cfm">     <cfinclude template="dsp_display#attrubutes.language#.cfm"> </cfswitch>     Any other suggestions?  Thanks for your help.     ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bUrFMa.bV0Kx9 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
