Any new developments for Bilingual Shops?

[grant]

Hi All,

We have a client that would like to have a bilingual shop English/Welsh.

Searching for Bilingual I see there are some old posts on the matter with a few ways in which Actinic could handle this.

But nothing in the last few years. Has anyone done anything recently with the features of Actinic 10 etc for a Bilingual Actinic installation?

I am thinking along the lines of having every page contain both languages, as I think this could be easily set up using added blocks etc in the template and product info, so the client could enter details in each language for the single product.

Would have to be carefully presented on the front end though as very easy to be messy with stuff like that.

Would be great if it were possible to have product pages in one or the other language....
Maybe use Extended Info as the second language, using the same template as the product page, but with the second language there for the navigation/details etc..

Or maybe have both languages on the same page, but each in their own Div - which is then swapped for the other with JS etc..

Anyone have any dashing clever ideas?

Cheers

GR

No progress as far as I know, running 2 or more languages on one site successfully is just not going to happen IMO. Multiple sites is the only answer.

Actinic sent out a "Actinic Features Customers Survey" by email last Friday and I seem to recall that one of the features they asked users to rate how useful a feature would be was somethinf to do with easily creating Multi-Lingual sites,a lthough can't remember the exact wording, so Actinic are possibly considering the possibilty of adding this to a future release (depending on the response to the survey and how easy it would be to add), although unlikely to be available for at least a couple opf years at the earliest I would have thought (if ever)
