We tried it for a while but the majority did not like it. Using it would mean to force the structure and content of localized sites to be cloned from the main site, translating it page by page. There were neither the teams ready nor a consensus to be found on that. Furthermore it places kind of a disturbing sub-navigation with lots of language links on top of the pages where translations are available. AFAIK it's not possible to use the feature just for some subsites for it is a systemwide config. I'm not saying that all this is carved in stone - it isn't, it just points to the fact that we're still 'building' a website-team as well as a website. Unfortunately there's actually nobody available who would be able to maintain 'all' features of Silverstripe *continously* and would have the coder skills necessary for a decent configuration. We provide a VM at our testserver where any changes to Silverstripe may be tested freely, pls ping [email protected] for the credentials.
