Portal in two languages

43 Views

Hello All!

We are in progress in implementing our internal corporate portal for our in-country businness.

One of main requirements is to make this portal multi-lingual. We've got two main languages (Russian and English).

There's no problem at all, when we speaking about translation of interface elements (worksets, pages, etc.). It's quite easy with 'Portal Content Translation'.

The trouble comes with KM.

The part of our portal is some kind of intranet-site. It is organized as follows:

1) HTML document is created in KM.

2) A page is created in PCD.

3) An KM document iview is created, pointing to a document created in step 1.

4) That iView is put to page from step 2.

5) Page is assigned to workset, role, etc.

What we need: according to user's language (choosen in Portal Personalization or determined from Internet Explorer's language setting) display a HTML document in proper language. We can create two documents in two languages, but how to teach portal to choose proper language - is a question...

Can You please advice?

Other question - KM itself.

We need to use 'Forms Based Publishing' feature with different languages. And again we need to display forms (news, personal cards, other created forms) in proper language according to user preference. What is the best way of achieveng above?

Probably somebody do have some best practices of how-to guides about multi-language portals implementations?

Thanks in advance for help and support!

Regards,

DK
