Hi snifflebear! You will need to use some sort of "Content Management" type of framework where the content of your site is store in a database. This way you can translate all of the information and then display it in templates according to the user's preference.
Rather than give you a lengthy explanation of what I have done with something similar I leave you my email so that you can contact me directly if you really are interested in hearing my 2 cents. Feel free to email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jaime -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 1:47 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Bilingual App HELP!! Hey guys, any of yall Familiar with the Houston International Festival? Well it's like this festival that features music, dance, arts, and spotlights a different country every year. Well this year that country is MEXICO. And they want to have an English and Spanish version. I would like some ideas on methods on approaching this. Everything will be identical. Layout, grpahics. The only difference is the langage (and of course, text on the navigation buttons will change too). But i was wondering if there are any veterans :) Ideally, I would like to have only one copy, instead of an English copy and a Spanish copy. That way they use the same CFM code. A bulk of the site would be text and information. So i was thinking maybe I can just set the text to variables, and display the correct language depending on their preference. Just text only though! There will be only one HTML code, and only one CFM code to follow. So well, there you go! I appreciate any input, humour, pity :) snifflebear ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
