Re: Multisite strategy

I'm new at this Django stuff, so this is more of a question than a suggestion. I keep seeing a references to translating. I found in the manual the following: 

3.15 Internationalization and localization

3.15.1 Translation

Overview

In order to make a Django project translatable, you have to add a minimal number of hooks to your Python code and

templates. These hooks are called translation strings. They tell Django: "This text should be translated into the end

user's language, if a translation for this text is available in that language." It's your responsibility to mark translatable

strings; the system can only translate strings it knows about.

So I was thinking that was an option so that I could build one site and then have translations into other languages so when the user picked a language everything will switch to that language. Is this a naive assumption?

Hi all,

I'd like to implement something like this:

One Django project to serve 3 sites:

1. `domain.com` which is the "master" site, containing just a landing page

2. `de.domain.com` which is the "German" site

3. `en.domain.com` which is the "UK" site

`de` and `en` refers the location, not the language (e.g. `de.domain.com/en/` is the German site in English)

If you go to `domain.com` you can choose the language and the country, and you are just redirected to the right place.

Is `contrib.site` suitable for that scenario?

I was thinking at 3 different sites.

If so, how can I use them locally while in development?

Any other suggestions?

Best,

Carlo
