[Phpwebsite-developers] Multi-language site

[Geoff S. <ge...@ho...>]

I want to set up a bilingual English / Spanish phpWebsite site.

It occurred to me that it could be done by:

Setting up two copies of phpWebsite - one English and one Spanish

Point each of them to the same database and the same directories for images
through the config.php files.

This would allow the user to switch back and forth between English and
Spanish. The articles and pages uploaded would be in which ever language
they're posted in. So, if you wanted a page to be in both English and
Spanish, you'd either post it twice, or put the English and Spanish versions
in the same page.

Anyone tried this? I'm wondering if pointing two different copies of
phpWebsite to the same image and userpage directories would work or if the
code is dependent on these directories being in the same directory tree.

Any comments?
