Thanks - Knew that one, but don't see it as multi-lingual, all parts (UI, Tags, Q + A) are in a single language, based on url.[1] What am I missing, or perhaps change of browser language preference is not enough to show what you mean? > > My current plan is to use language tags and automatic tag filters based on > the set/determined locale of the user for askbot. OK - well maybe we have been talking past each other - two roads to the same desired result. The same split, just using tags vs table prefix. OK. This might have a few advantages even, and then of course allow the multilingual user to switch language from the UI. > > laughing - and I couldn't do without it...but it won't help if there is > > multiple languages on the same page. > > > > I personally think there shouldn't be multiple languages on the same page.

HUH - no one in there right mind would make 105 vhosts, nor 105 databases; 1 vhost, 1 database, multiple tables and separate configurations, you know that. Straw man arguments waste everyone's time.
