Likely a simpy question for which I have not found the answer to:

Why do the core modules, such as the HTML module, not support multiple languages?.  In my portal I have French & English.  When I enabled the French, I expected the HTML module, among others, would provide a dropdown that would allow me to select the language for which I was entering content.

Presuming the above is correct, I believe my options are:

1.  Various other modules that do support multiple languages.  (Apollo for example)
2.  Child Portals

Could someone please confirm if I am on the right path?

Thank you - Doug.

You are correct in your assumptions. The short story is: at the moment DNN does not support content localization at all. The only localization that is going on is done by way of resource files, and the only thing that gets localized is the user interface.

Although it is simple to create a simple module that supports content localization (like my MLHTML module), it is a far greater project to come up with a content localization API that can be plugged in to by modules. Also.. content localization impacts many parts of the application. As you may notice, my modules support DNN search, but you will be presented by all results of all languages. Module settings would need to be looked at as well, als page settings. The scope of content localization is very large, which is why there isn't a solution yet.

Don't worry though.. content localization is very important to us.. we will not abondon it

Hi - can you recommend any documentation/examples that outline how to best setup a french/english site using the child portal scenario?  (I'm hoping to answers questions such as; how do the two sites interact (e.g., toggle between french/english), which should be the parent (french or english))
Thank you.

I'm not aware of any documentation or examples. It's quite simple though: just start a new portal for every new language you need, disable all languages but the one you need on a per portal basis and you are up and running. Of course, you cannot use a language switcher, so you will need to create your own solution to that (you can put a links module that links to your other portals, or you can create the same "splash" page for all your portals, that will act like a language selector)
