[opencms-dev] Several Languages - Howto

[Uli Emmerich]

Corsin,

sure, I mean an editing person. But I did not get your answer / solution 
completely. Is it possible to arrange a multilanguage website with the 
setup your suggested (one folder tree per language, siblings for 
multilanguage content) and forbid for example the french editor to edit 
the english content by user permissons (or not allow him / her to change 
the language dropdown in the editor). I am looking for a solution for 
this problem. If you know, please describe a bit more extensive. Thank you.

Uli
