Hello Carl,

I agree with this and this is what I was thinking to do for my project.
But I just read in the OpenCms 6.0 Book that keeping an (e.g.) /dk/ 
and /en/ structure is "deprecated"... 

So, the alternative I see is an site with no subdirs per language, but 
with multilanguage documents.

The inconvenience I see with this is that (afaics) if you edit a 
document in english and in danish separately, you cannot publish just 
one part of it, since the document is the same.

In my case I need to publish german separately from english, this is why 
I think I will go with /en/ and /de/ structures.

I would be happy to hear about some more experience,

Best regards,
Yves
