Hi,
I was very impressed with Radiant CMS. I was looking for something
very simple to use, but quite powerful, which radiant is. Other CMS
systems look overcomplicated compared to elegant approach of Radiant.
I was looking for something supporting multiple languages as well. I
found neat "Translator" extension of radiant from Philip Burrows. I
like the simple way how it handles multiple languages of various parts
of the site.
There are couple of things I am missing in the extension:
Language dependent URLs: they should be in form something like this:
www.myradiantsite.com/[language_part_of_URL]/radiant_destination
Reasons behind this are direct links to translated versions of
articles and allowing search engines to index translated page. For
example, google starts at page root in english, then goes:
[en] site.com --> [sk] site.com/sk --> [sk] site.com/sk/some_page
Is there any workaround for that at the moment? I would not mind
modifying .htaccess file and include all languages there (they are
just three), however I do not know much technical details how to do
that. Or is there any other way?
Also, how I can make radiant to generate language dependent URLs? I
want the language code or name to be present in translated version of
an article/page.
In addition, what are plans to integrate multilingual support directly
in to the Radiant CMS? That would be great and it will add huge
competitive advantage(*) in the CMS if done in simple way. The
Translator extension looks very promising...
Regards,
Stefan Urbanek
(*) I have seen no open source CSMs with properly and nicely
implemented multilingual support.
