Creating a multi-language website on Dreamweaver-cs4

Hi,
What would be the best aproach to create a multi-language website ( max 10 html pages , not a portal ) on CS4.
I had Joomla in my mind but I want to learn Dreamweaver way.
Should create different folders for each additinonal language and copy the default files and edit them accordinly? ( Default will be English, Turkish and German might be other options )
Thanks a lot

Watch for site management issues.
Here's a good reference: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/ora_dw_cs4_mm.html
You might have a home page that appears in all languages, linking to each section of your site. Each section might be in a folder named like "IVFDeutsch" for the German version, etc., and the 'home page' for German could be www.yoursitename.com/IVFDeutsch/index.html so you would have an index page in each subsection.
Consider using Templates, and a nav for each section that is presented in the language of the section, to treat your other language speaking visitors as well as possible.
You have many decisions and possibilities..have fun with the site.

Best practice for developing multi language Website

Hi all
I want to develop my website in multiple languages and I know that I can put all the msg string in the resource bundle or in the database, however, I think this makes the interface of the web becomes very difficult to develop because I can't see anything in the HTML editor. Another solution is to use XSL that I believe HTML editors is able to display the tagname or some description of the XSL tag but I am not sure about that because I haven't used it before.
Have any expert web developers find a better solution or do you guys think XSL is the best solutions? Any suggestions are very welcome. Thank You!
From
Edmond

being not familiar with xsl, I say go for resources. If you define your own tag to display text, it isnt that hard to understand, e.g.
<translate id="hello.world"/>. That at least is how I make multi language website.

Log-in to your Remote Server and GET the site files using DW or your favorite

How to create a multi-language site?

Hi,
what's the smartest way to create a multi-language site with the naviation menus only in English OR French OR German…? By creating one site and duplicate the .muse file?
Thanks a lot!

No
Depending on how simple your site is you can get away with it easy with common languages based on latin all in CSS and Javascript as the words within the sentences will mostly be in the same places. For other languages such as Japanese to English or right to left languages you would be better building different templates in a subdirectory as links and other things will start to move around.
You also have to design around multi languages as well, as words in other languages might be longer and could break your design.

SES : Crawle multi-languages webSite

Hello,
I want to crawle a multi-language webSite with SES 11g (11.1.2.0.0), the webSite doesn't have a differents page per language, but it's a same page (URL) with the translation labels.
When i change the language in menu I noticed those 3 cookies changed :
LOGIN_NLS=zh-cn;
portal_language=zh-cn;
NLS_LANGUAGE=zh-cn,zhs,CHINA;
How can I crawle the webSite in the 3 languages ?
Thank you

Multi language website without a database?

I would like to make a website in norwegian and english (perhaps also in spanish).
I use DW5 but I don't have much experience with databases (so I don't use this in this case).
Are there any way to make multi language site - without make a copy of the whole site and correct it? Of course I will have to change the text in the webpages, but I'm more thinking of the dwt-(template-files) and css-files...Not making new dwt and css file but keep them, and correct text pages.
Could I use some kind of script?
Is this this enough information to understand what I want to do?
Hope for the best
Morten

Hi
Yes, there is enough information to say that there is no 'magic' script that will do what you wish and that the way you describe, (create separate pages for each language) is the only way to do this if you do not wish to use a database.
You could use Google's translate to do the translation when the specific language is selected, but in my experience the translations are only usable as an approximation, and definitely should not be used on a professional web site as the actual content.

Problems creating a multi language DVD

I'm creating a DVD which has multiple video files in 4 different languages. Some of the video content is the same, but as some of the videos also have on screen text that has to be in a specific language, I cannot just use the default language settings in DVDSP.
I've tried a couple of things:
Uploading duplicate versions of the video files that have on screen text, and then uploading multiple audio tracks to the files which share a common video asset. I then pointed the buttons of the relevant menu to the video asset and the correct language for that button. This was working great, but then I realised that I could only set a single end point on the video. As I have multiple languages, this meant that even if the correct audio played, at the end I could only send the user back to one menu, which wouldn't be in the right language. Have I missed anything obvious here? Is there a way of setting end points that relate to a specific audio track?
Secondly I tried using the DVD language settings to tag each audio track - but the problem here is that some of my video files are unique to a specific language, and this option relies on only having a single video asset, and multiple audio streams. Again, am I missing something obvious?
The only solution I can currently see it to upload all the video files as duplicates (therefore uploading the same video file 4 times) and crush the bit-rate right down. Unfortunately the quality loss is quite dramatic - but at the moment it's the only solution that I know will work.
Any advice or options that are worth pursuing would be really appreciated. If the duplicate video files is the only solution, any tips on the best codec or ways to maximise bit rate would be really appreciated.

Not sure if you text is in the footage itself or not. Sounds like a not? You may need to use something like stories to route the footage to the proper places. (If the clips are the same lengths there are other tricks to try.)
In this [link|http://dvdstepbystep.com/stories_details.php] there is information on using stories with different subtitles and audio tracks and [here|http://dvdstepbystep.com/audioset.php] is a general way to use scripts to track preferences.
Using those techniques you can send people back to where they came from. In other words in the second link it is audio on/audio off. But you can do the same thing and put languages in there, so based on the selection you can read it and send them back. Or if using stories, you can set the end jump for the story back to where to go.

How do I create a Spanish language website?

How do I set the language to Spanish in a website?
Also.... would it have any tools already set for Spanish? I specially would like to have the fill up forms in Spanish..
Thanks..

Hello,
Please go file > Site properties > Content and select the language as "Spanish"
This will do the needful for you. If you insert the form after changing the language all the test fields and labels will be in spanish.
Please take a look at the screenshot.

Vivek

Creating a multi-language DVD

I need to create a DVD with two selectable audio tracks, one in English, the other in Japanese. I believe such a thing was possible with DVD Studio Pro...
I am wondering if this can be done within FC Pro X and if not, how can it be done?
Thanks in advance!

… from the hobbyists corner:
Maybe, you have iDVD on your hard-drive, or on some of your older installer disks.
Export your project in its two versions. (btw: FCPX' feature of 'Roles' is of great help doing so.... with one click, you not only change audio, but titles, …)
Add both versions into a new iDVD Project.
Apply a nice menu, change the two icons into e.g. a British and a Japanese flag.
=> it 'looks like' switchable version
Hurdle:
a disk fits max 2h material; so, your project shouldn't be beyond 60min (better: stay under that max)

Create a multi-page website using DW CC responsive template

I have a reponsive template set up for a new website. Is it possible to use that one template for various layout structures from page to page?
More specifically, I would like to modify the editable regions on various pages so that one page has two columns, another page has three columns, and the last page has a single column. Is that possible using one template?
I have used a single responsive template for other websites, however each of the pages had the same layout (two columns). There were no variations in the basic structure from page to page.

I am going to have to explore nested templates.
No, no, no, don't do that!! Nested templates are a total nightmare to work with.
One template should be all you need. Simply decide how many columns you want on a given child page and adjust column widths with page specific embedded CSS code like this.
Page 1
<style>
/**1-col child page**/
#col1 {width: 100%}
</style>
Page 2
<style>
/**2-col child page**/
#col1 {width: 50%}
#col2 {width:50%}
</style>
Page 3
<style>
/**3-col child page**/
#col1 {width: 33.3%}
#col2 {width:33.3%}
#col3 {width:33.3%}
</style>
Make sense?

In terms of structuring the website, there is no difference;
pick whichever
is more suitable to you. My view would be that if the
language specific
versions of the website have (or may potentially have)
differences in
structure (e.g, the English version has a 'Flowers' page but
the French
version does not), then structure it by language then
subject. If there is
no difference in structure between languages, then
subject/language would be
just as good.
