[opencms-dev] OpenCms 7.0.3: Multi language with multi sites

[Fabian Huschka]

Hello Kai,

yup, we are doing this all the time. I never actually thought about 
organizing different languages under one site root.
As for side effects I can not report any negative ones except for the 
fact that you have to change the site root if you want to edit content 
of another language.
Further all graphics and resources for both (or n+1) sites should be 
organized under "/system/galleries" which makes life a lot easier and 
circumvents redundant files.


Regards,

Fabian
