Hi, I have added this to the wiki: Managing bilingualism without a plug-in? title=Managing_bilingualism_without_a_plug-in_%28a_partial_answer%29
i know there is the MLP, but i am interested in pursuing a simpler method. Where did the WIKI entry go? Can you email me the write-up if it’s still around.
thanks…
PS i really detest dead links!

it does … thanks
Am i assuming correctly that the text has to be entered in a form? it cannot therefore be done by editors at the new article phase? I don’;t want to give editors access to the forms or pages sections.

Re: Academic bilingual site
Well, if you’re only using two languages, I guess you could use the body and excerpt field for the article body, and maybe custom fields for the titles and do something like this:
<txp:output_form form="accept-language" />
<txp:if_variable name="accept-language" value="de">
<h3><txp:custom_field name="german_title" /></h3>
<txp:body />
<txp:else />
<h3><txp:custom_field name="english_title" /></h3>
<txp:excerpt />
</txp:if_variable>BTW here is the wiki article. It’s a bit outdated, the described workarounds are no longer necessary since we can use tags as attributes.
