Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to set up multilingual pages. My understanding is that I must:

  • specify the language in the original page
  • create a new page in a different language
  • link the two pages together as a set of translations


It seems to be standard practice to append , to the name for translated pages,
e.g. homepage or homepage,fr or homepage,de

Is this just a convention or does it have significance for Tiki?

Yup, that's the process.

It is just a convention. Keep in mind, that if you do use this convention, any auto-generated lists (such as breadcrumbs for structures) will use this English-esqe name. You'll need to create a language-specific alias for your i18n users.

HTH,
