I have a list of web-sites all of which are in both English and German. From previous threads I have seen that it is recommended that you duplicate a site and make the necessary changes in the duplicate version. This works fine except for the problem that everWeb disregards the file name you specify for your first page. Strangely the Rage SEO help files emphasize how important it is to make sure your page names are meaningful. I appreciate that it is usually necessary to start a site with index.html and I also realize that the old iWeb way of creating a startup page with a redirect is not the way to go. On the other hand web servers will allow you to specify the names of start-up pages in a particular sequence. So I can have index, home etc. I would like to be able to force everWeb to use the name I specify in the filename field for every page including the first one. This way I could have index, index-de, index-fr, index-it and so on. Creating separate folders for each language version on the server is not really a good solution (although I have used this method) either because this means holding all the assets redundant. -Paul- |

Why is it not a good solution? Can you explain what you mean by "because this means holding all the assets redundant"? You can make a separate directory for each language and put your localized pages within each folder. ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

I would create a each site on a separate project file and upload them to the server so that, in the root folder, you have several sub sites name sitename-german, site-name french, sitename-swahili and so on… Then create a new project which only has a single page. This is the Home page which has links to the site in the sub folders so that visitors can select their own language. You can create the hyperlinks to the sub sites using relative or absolute URLS. Relative is best and you can get info here… http://everwebcodebox.com/widgetbox/info/assets-file-paths.html This site would be uploaded last so that its index.html overwrites the last one uploaded and, when a visitor punches in "domain-name.com" in the browser, the Home page appears. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
