Hi,
I'm trying to build a multi language site. Does anyone have tips? Should I copy all my database tables for the specific languages? Add a languafe field to all tables and wrestle my way through sql? please, any suggestions will help. (there are four languages involved)
Thanks alot.

Rene,
it can be done in Template version only and require some manual coding. All captions on the form (FormCaption and field captions), should be defined in curl braces, like {FormCaption}. And all button captions, navigator captions should be defined the same way.
Then in Open event of the form you should get the selected language and define all captions. E.g. for English:
ASP
if GetParam("language") = "eng" then
SetVar "FormCaption", "Results"
SetVar "Fiels1caption"m "Name"
' other captions
SetVar "insert_button", "Insert"
'other buttons
SetVar "Previous", Previous
'other navigator captions
end if

You have to name the captions in the forms like this :
Instead of Name use {var_name}
Instead of Day Phone use {var_day_phone}
Modify in the templateobj.asp and save as newtemplateobj.asp
Function ProceedTpl(sTpl)
Dim regEx, sMatch, oMatches, sName, sTTpl
sTTpl = sTpl
sMatch = getNextPattern(sTTpl, 1)
while len(sMatch) > 0
sName = mid(sMatch, 2, len(sMatch) - 2)
if left(lcase(sName),6)="var_" then
sTTpl = replace(sTTpl, sMatch, GetTranlationfor(mid(sName,5)),session("Lang"))
else
if ParsedBlocks.Exists(sName) then
sTTpl = replace(sTTpl, sMatch, ParsedBlocks(sName))
else
sTTpl = replace(sTTpl, sMatch, DBlocks(sName))
end if
end if
sMatch = getNextPattern(sTTpl, 1)
wend
ProceedTpl = sTTpl
End Function
Add a new function to NewTemplateObj.asp
Function GetTranslation(word,lang)
'You can make your own code to read the info from a SQL table and maybe cache it into application variables.
End Function
In the modules, edit the event common and replace templateobj with newtemplateobj.
Good Luck
Pedro

Hi there,
This is abacadabra for me, I also struggle with a multilanguage site and I'm new with codecharge.
Is there maybe any exsample file (ccs) for me to see what you're talking about so I can use this as a frame work for my multilanguage-portal wich I'm trying to build.
Thanks
Wilfred
