Localization

Let's say you want to setup a bilingual site with English and French content. You want to host English content at "www.myexample.com/en" and French content at "www.myexample.com/fr". You could setup the vanity domains as follows:

  • Create two channels, one for English and one for French, you can easily unify their looks and feel by using the same Channel Layouts and Theme.
  • Setup vanity domain for english channel as "www.myexample.com/en"
  • Setup the vanity domain for the french channel as "www.myexample.com/fr"
  • Add a simple cross link in the Navigation Widget or Html Widget to switch between the english and french websites.

You can also point multiple domains to a channel, for example you can setup your vanity domains with "www.parentsite.com/en", "www.example.com" and "en.example.com" each of which point to the same English channel.
