Feha,
that's the thing i'm looking for. How do you manage it in CCS2?
Or do you manual code it? How?
Thanx

create all tables in database with multi language in mind (ie field language in every table that contains data that changes with language)
fill all data in several languages and set language code for each record.
Make and index.php(asp(jsp)) and when the user selects language set a session variable containing the language code. In each query enter a where condition that collects the language session variable and thus selects the right language.
Make labels for menu headers so titles arent hardcoded html butphp, asp or whatever. Use the language session variable to construct if/else ore case structures or use event to get the value from the database(again using the session variable to fill the where part of the query) (I'd prefer the query proces to hardcoding if/else structures)

Ron has given very good solution ...
I use four index.php, index_1.php, index_2.php, index_3.php ...
So each index reads dedicated content from tables ...
In this case there are 4 different tieles, 4 different contents on the same record...
This makes possible that You can use this system for any language...
I have escaped writing titles with in form ...
(There is custom coding ...)
You can use even one index and pass parameters to input to view desired content ...

I'm building a multi language site. The only thing I'm stuck with are the standard messages hardcoded in the generated files. CCS creates these messages using the xml files. Is there a sollution to make the standard messages, like errors, in multiple language which depend on a session or something? One solution would be creating multiple sites. But I'm talking about a site with about 150 pages. And I don't really feel like creating 3 or 4 different sites in different languages, only for these standard messages hardcoded in the generated files. So I need another solution than that.

"The only thing I'm stuck with are the standard messages hardcoded in the generated files."
What messages are talking about? Validation messages can be altered, the no records message can be altered.
Other error messages aren't supposed to show up on your page

I mean all messages from the Translation\Site\English.xml
These have to be different for all the different languages. But with CCS you can only choose one site language. So when I choose english for site language, all the messages, buttons, dates, etc are in english. How do I assign these values dynamically?
