[opencms-dev] Building a multilingual website: multi-tree approach

[Daniel Seidel]

Hi --,

you are correct, that the documentation diverges a bit from the 
implementation in terms of menu-options and labels. But the feature 
should work when you follow the documentation (with all the GUI 
variations interpreted as you did). You might not be able to link a 
locale variant because the "locale" property may not be set at the 
folders "en" "de" "es". Check this using the explorer. And, if necessary 
set "en" at "en", "de" at "de" and "es" at "es" (by the way, did you 
globally configure "es" as it's done with "fr" in the tutorial?).

Best Daniel.

... by the way: I adjusted the tutorial to fit the actual GUI. It'll 
probably be online next week.
