[opencms-dev] ade and multilanguage best practices

[lruggeri at maticad.it]

Hello to everyone.

I'm trying to extend an old opencms based website with ade functionality.

Which is the best approach of handling multiple languages with ade, and
grant translator permissions to edit just their language?

 

Example 1: 

/.content

/it

/de

 

I create  a containerpage for inside /it folder and populate it. This will
create content items inside .content root folder.

I can then copy the container page to /de folder. The references to content
items will remain valid.

With this approach I can set language based permission just on the container
pages, not the content items. Is it right?

 

Example 2:

/it

   .content/

/de

   .content/

With this approach the  containerpages cannot be easily copied because they
reference content inside the language folder.

So each content editor is responsible for maintaining a completely
independent version of the site. This allows to grant permission on each
language but can be very hard to maintain.

 

I don't need extreme flexibility, but would like to understand how to set up
a configuration that is easy to maintain.

Do you have any suggestions or previous experience with this topic?

 

Thank you,

Lisa
