TYPO3 does have over 16 languages. I don't have a need for multi-language support at this time so I must confess that I haven't really used it. :)
Yes, the TYPO3 template system is very odd to start out with - I definitely don't disagree with you there. The biggest reason why I chose it was that this complex template system allowed us to incorporate any design into our website (which was a must for us). We didn't get that freedom from other CMSs that we researched. So, yes the learning curve is steep but the freedom you get is worth it, I believe. BTW, what do you mean about generating navigation from the admin level? I'm not sure what you meant. :) Michelle On 12/12/02 11:55 AM, "Peter VanDijck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> For a quick easy-to-use portal site, I suggest using phpWebsite because I >> really liked this package.
