Anne et al,


Ditto for the National Gallery of Canada - our web site (http://national.gallery.ca) with integral learning centre (CyberMuse),as well as significant resources searchable on the web site such as the catalogue of the Library of the Gallery (largest fine arts library in Canada), have bilingual English and French interfaces , as does our version of our inhouse collection management system MultiMimsy (Willoughby Associates, Chicago)...

Any one of the National Museums of Canada web sites is fullly bilingual (french/english) by federal law. You can visit our site at www.nature.ca and contact our Webmaster at abot...@mus-nature.ca.

Hello,
Anyone out there have experience building a bi-lingual web site? Or can get
me in contact with a museum staff person who does? I want to produce a
Spanish English exhibition feature for the fall, and have not done anything
like this before.


I am interested in software/hardware requirements, but most importantly,
finding out the production hurdles (if any) involved in building a
bi-lingual museum site.


Thank you!

Christina,
 
We at ADLiB Information Systems have built quite a few bi- tri- or 
quadrilingual web applications for museums. One of them is the National 
Maritime Collection database at http://www.maritiemdigitaal.nl.
The trick is to keep the language dependent stuff separate from the language 
independent stuff. You can do this in several ways: by means of a database, 
scripting or (better) by keeping the language dependent stuff in XML files. The 
contact person at maritiem digitaal is Frans van Hamburg. You can reach him as: 
f.vanhamb...@maritiemmuseum.nl Hope this information is usefull. If you need to 
know more, get in
touch with me...
