Hi,

I'm trying to make a multilanguage website which will have Chinese and English pages.

Which option may I have rather than creating a new portal for each language? Because that would double the size of the website, I think.

I learned that we can use resource files (.resx), but I cannot find a complete tutorial on this, could someone link me, if there is one please.

There is another method , which uses Delisoft's DSLocalizator, seems to be able to downloaded only from here: http://dnn.tiendaboliviana.com/web/Modulesandresources/Modules/DSLocalizator/tabid/75/Locale/en-US/Default.aspx

That site requires being logged in to be able to download the file. I tried to register there 4 times with different emails, but it won't send the activation code. Could someone register an account for me, or upload the file somewhere else please.

Thanks a lot for your time.

resource files (aggregated in language packs) are used to translate "static" elements, i.e. labels, buttons, system messages and button texts. For a multilingual site you need besides a solution for localizing tab properties and multilingual modules. Page localization solutions are DSLocalizator, EALO (ealo.codeplex.com) and PageLocalization from www.apollo-software.nl, ML modules are available besides from dnnwerk.de and bring2mind.net. DNN 5.5.1 comes with a very new feature called content localization to create pages in multiple languages, due to a number of existing issues you might try it carefully on a test installation.

I can recommend Localization Extensions from Adequation (http://www.adequation-dotnetnuke.com/en/Modules/Localization-Extensions/Overview.aspx). I have used it successfully on a number of multilanguage sites. It works by allowing you to create a different tree of pages for each language on the site (but within the same portal). It is very easy to install and configure. And it's free.
