Multi Language site

[user_not_found]

There is any way to have multi language site ?

Can there be a hack to do that ?

it would require more then just a hack...
yo ucan choose to do it with an ini parser (ini language files) or the old fashion way putting the strings in PHP defines. But the source code has to be adapted to do this so a lot of files would have to change. The sideeffect is that after an update of the system you have to edit the source again to keep having the use of the language files.
anyway, it is not easy and requires a lot of work to do it.

I never have understood a multi-language site using INDEXU. Seems like to me you pick one language and go with it. I guess the problem as I see it, is that the actual link data (title, description, etc) is initially entered using just one language. While INDEXU can handle multi-language templates, how do you handle the link data.

To my way of thinking, the link data has to be translated into the other languages at some point. You either need to translate the link data when you pull it from the mysql database or you have to store it in a different database for each language and then use the appropriate database.

Heck, I may not even understand the question.

I have seen a number of multi-language sites but not LINK sites. Can it be done? Sure. I'd probably do it using multiple databases. But that would take a bunch of the 3Ms (Money, Manpower and Material) which is generally in short supply for an INDEXU owner.

well, it is all in the translation. take the following spanish sentences.

El fútbol es el mayor ejemplo de esto. Si las cosas van bien para sus equipos, el fútbol es un espectáculo maravilloso, impagable, indescriptiblemente grande. Si van mal, es una corruptela sin fin, un mundo podrido, algo que apesta.

here is the google english translation of the above.

Soccer is the greater example of this. If the things go well for their equipment, soccer is a wonderful, non-paymentable spectacle, indescriptiblemente great. If they go bad, is one endless corruptela, a rotted world, something that stinks out.

While I have no clue as to the spanish version, I not sure I understand the english version much better.

Using babelfish, here is the french version.

Le football est le plus grand exemple de de ceci. Si les choses vont bien pour leurs équipements, le football est un grand spectacle admirable, impayable, indescriptiblement. S'ils sont mauvais, un monde putréfié est une corruption sans fin, quelque chose qui apesta.

and here is the english version from babelfish

Soccer is the greater example of this. If the things go well for their equipment, soccer is a wonderful, non-paymentable spectacle, indescriptiblemente great. If they go bad, is one endless corruptela, a rotted world, something that stinks out.

I'm not so sure that computers are very good translators. I just happen to think the translations eventually need a human touch. Otherwise, some will just be random words posing as intelligent communication.
