[opencms-dev] OpenCMS 6.0-alpha2 Multi-language support

[Gavin, Ben]

OK,
  I think I understand what you're saying, so that leads me to my next
question.  Since the new editor functionality easily allows you to
maintain multiple language content within the same "html file" in the
CMS, can you create a single "global" directory containing all those
files with all the language data embedded in it, and then create various
"symbolic links" to that directory setting the locale for each sym-link
to point to that single content location?  Or am I going to be forced to
duplicate the actual content files in these separate directories?

Thanks!
Ben

The URL parameter is also valid, even though it is intended to "force" a
specific locale to be displayed. It overrides the locale handler
setting. The parameter is in no way "carried forward" with the
<cms:link> tag, so this is certainly somthing you must have in mind.

As others have already pointed out, you can write your own locale
handler in case you need different handling (not with the property).
Handlers that user session parameters and / or browser locales come to
mind. The locale handler is also configured in opencms-system.xml, and
it's not overly hard to write a different one.

Best Regards,
Alex.
