I’ve got portals developed for UK, US, greman, canadian and japanese. I need someone to adivce me on my strategy of making these sites go live. I am thinking of setting up the sites the following method,
www.xmysitex.com
www.xmysitex.com/us
www.xmysitex.com/ca
www.xmysitex.com/de
www.xmysitex.com/fr

The way my module works it picks up the country code from the flags and direct to /gb, /us, /ca, /fr, /de.
Currently when I select the GB flag it gets me to www.xmysitex.com/gb. but i want it to go to www.xmysitex.com.
I need to make the UK (GB) site as the .com default site.
So in order to make it the way I want to happen could I redirect the site to www.xmysitex.com if it goes to www.xmysitex.com/gb ? is this something I can do via my website host?

Thanks

My companies website setup similar to how you describe.  Each language (or in our case region) is a seperate child portal to www.xmysite.com.  When a user selects North America they follow the www.xmysite.com path.  When they select Europe then they are directed to www.xmysite.com/europe/.  Each of our portals represent different product which are available end users based on their region.  Portals with different content based on language would also follow the same. 

If your content is the same for each portal just a different locale, why don't you just customize your locale so the end user can switch to what they would like?  If your content isn't the same disregard that statement.

Hi,

I have a similar scenario. Two portals (Eng and French) same content in different languages.

I would like to set it up, let us say, user goes to English "portal/page5/default.aspx" and want to change the reading to French version and when the click the "French" link, it should take them direct to "portal/page5/default.aspx" with french content.

Can some one shed some light into this please?

Thanks

If you have similar content for both languages, I suggest to use one of the 3rd party ML solutions instead of creating separate portals per language. Have a look at EALO from www.Effority.net, PageLocalization from www.apollo-software.nl and DSLocalizator from dnn.tiendaboliviana.com. You will also need 3rd party ML modules for the content, there are several available (a few for free) from the same developers and e.g. from www.portalfabrik.net
