I've had my site for many years in DNN, currently running 4.9 and want to translate the site to spanish.  I'm the only one keeping up with it, so I don't think I need to translate the core DNN stuff, but rather just the content of the site which is visible to the users.  I hope to market my services to central and south america.  I selected en-us and spanish-spain in the language setting, but after that I'm lost.  I have researched and don't know if I need a language pack or not.  Also I don;t know how when somebody clicks on the spanish flag the site will go to the spanish version.  Finally, would I need more flags?  I don't want to overcrowd my layout, I think spanish from spain would suffice all latin america, is this not the right way?  Can somebody offer some advice please?Thanks

I have "one" website that is multi-locale and plan to add new countries/languages to it.  Crowding of languages can be dealt with using drop-down boxes (see it here - http://www.snug-bugs.co.uk).

I actually use a different portal for each language and work on them together - gives far greater flexibility, especially when considering 3rd party modules as many aren't too hot with mult-locale.  Eg. this one uses Catalook (may change as a bug led to a feature being removed).  I want it to be able to take different currencies for payment but Catalook is not multi-currency.

Having different portals makes it easier to just deal with each in its own way without trying to get a single portal to do it all.

I'd also not be sure on the Spanish Flag - as it's not only a language but a country that is not theirs. Just my own view - I'd say Spanish/Espanol rather than a flag if I'm referring to the language.

If you do run it in a single portal - the Languages token will show the flags and the selected locale is just switched by clicking the flag. You then need modules that will store the data for each language.
