Hi,
I'm building an expression engine 2.0-powered site that uses multiple languages (not using MSM aka multiple site manager, as the client did not want that approach).
I am borrowing a few of the ideas from here: http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Multi_language_site_alternative/ however using cookies for the language selection as apposed to having the language variable in the uri.
However what bugs me is that when I'm going to have a list of product categories, I think I'm not going to have a way to list the category names in the languages that I need (or have a place to type in the alternative language category names for that matter)
Rough structure:
site.com/category/product, ALL of the language specific bits are being taken either from the lang file(ui stuff) or from the custom fields, except for category names.
Is there a way to link a category id to various category names(different languages) and then retrieve the appropriate language when required?
If there is no way to do this, is MSM the only alternative?
