Problem With Publishing Multi Language Sites

Greetings, our website is in three languages, English, French, and, Spanish. We first created the English site we were told that we could duplicate it in order to create copies for the French and Spanish versions for translation by clicking “Show On Disk” from the Project Window and copying the associated file. This is what we did and everything worked fine until it came time to publish the sites to our server. When we first uploaded the site to our server we choose “Publish Entire Site” for all three versions of the site. We did one right after the other with the English version being the main directory and the French and Spanish in their own separate subdirectories. Everything worked fine. The problem now came when we had to make adjustments to certain pages. Once we started making adjustments we used the “Publish Site Changes” from the file menu as oppose to the “Publish Entire Site” option because it was only a few small changes that we needed to make on one or two pages. What happened was, that it started mixing and mingling the languages together. The English site started to show some pages in Spanish and French and vice versa. Everything got all mixed up on our live site. We were able to correct everything by republishing each version of the site by using the “Publish Entire Site” option, one after the other just as we did the first time. This put everything back to normal. Now, I have an idea as to what I think happened. When you click “Show On Disk” from the Project Window the name of the associated file is apparently some kind of code of assorted numbers and letters. Once you duplicate one of these files the duplicated file adds an extra increment number to give is a different file name. For instance, if the file name for the site was “abc” once I duplicate that file “abc1” is created. If I duplicate “abc1”, “abc2” would be created. The problem seems to be that, although that file name has changed, the file itself still has that original code programmed inside it without the in incremented number. What then happens is that when you now publish the site all three sites are published to the same local temporary folder on the computer before they are uploaded. It does not cause a problem when you publish the site using the “Publish Entire Site” option because each with will totally overwrite the previous data in the temporary folder, but if you choose “Publish Site Changes” that data is now mixed. If you could please help us to correct the is problem we would appreciate it because it takes very long to upload the entire site when you just want to make a small change. Thank you for you help! |
