Multilingual web site
The Google Web Master central blog has published some advices on how to start a multilingual web site.
They describe two techniques if you want to use the same top domain:
You can use one of these techniques with QuickelSoft CMS and redirect the reader to the correct language.
How to display the correct language to your reader?
I start with the prerequisite that the user has set up correctly his language in his browser. 1. On your home page, check the content of the collection Request.UserLanguages in the Page_Load event. 2. If one of the user language is supported by your web site, redirect him to the correct home page for that home page (like http://www.mysite.com/site.aspx/en or http://www.mysite.com/site.aspx/fr ) 3. Otherwise, redirect him to the site main language (see the property MainLanguage in the Site object in the QuickelSoft CMS API)
You can map multiple language codes on one page. For instance, en-us and en-gb can be mapped on http://www.mysite.com/site.aspx/en . If you want more information on how to develop Multilanguage web sites with QuickelSoft CMS, you can read the section “Multiple languages” in the Developer Guide in the QuickelSoft CMS documentation.
