Internationalization?
How Do I?
I’m wondering if anyone has had success with EE and Internationalization?
I need to break my active site out to show certain pages to certain countries.
For example:
• Home
• Products - a particular set of products displayed if in the US - a particular set of products displayed if in Germany - a particular set of products displayed if in the UK
• About
• Locations - a particular set of business locations displayed if in the US - a particular set of business locations displayed if in Germany - a particular set of business locations displayed if in the UK
I don’t even know where to start here. Any help is appreciated!
There’s a good discussion in github issues here and IP Geo Locator is now available for free in the store (props to Climbing Turn Ltd).
I think that gives you a good starting place.
The best approach I have found is just use different templates for different languages. example.com/en and example.com/de
You end up with one website for each language. The reason I prefer this is because its not just enough to replace the text, what about images and other content that might or not be available on that language? Instead of mixing contents in different languages, I prefer to separate them. Its more work? Yes and not. If you are going full multi language, you will end up doing twice as much work anyway, a page per language.
