Hey pappad and riprod,

I've been working on a Spanish / English site for a client over the last couple of weeks. I'd not really used Dotnetnuke before that so i've been having to do lots of playing around and working out what works best for this system. They basically want multilingual site that is easy to maintain, with a news feed and newsletter management. You can see the site at 82.46.211.53 when i'm working on it try not to break it if you get on :)

There are lots of modules to do different things with nuke and I suppose that is part of the problem. My view was to get what i needed up and running, i still have a few problems but I have got most of it working well. I can only explain the modules i have used and some of the problems.

The modules I used from Apollo were page localization, MLHTML, MLSkinHelper and MLLanguageSelector. These allow you to have multilingual content in a single portal, you create a content area on the page put in the mlhtml module and you have a drop down to post for the different languages. When the user clicks between languages he sees the language you have chosen. The page localization allows you to change information for the tabs, so you can have your multi language tab names for your menu. I also used the cssnavmenu from snapsis as I wanted the site to be in nice xhtml / css where possible.

I am also just trying to set up the repository to handle multilingual content, i'm working on that one as we speak.

The emailmanager software from dnn-modules is the only module where the back end management is only in English, however both the opt-in and opt-out modules can be localized so it is something that the client will live with and this module has so much other lovely functionality that i'm sure the client will be very happy.

I suppose the best think i could say is get a decent pc and install a virtual server with dotnetnuke running in it then download/ install/ and play about with the modules until you have the site doing what you want to do.

I hope that helps?
