Duplicate installation with different language input.
Here's kind of an oddball variation on the "Can I use links SQL in xxx language?" question.

I have an installation of LinksSQL operating with customized templates in American English that is working beautifully. I want to duplicate the installation (buy another license) with a fresh database. I want the interface & forms to be exactly the same (in American English) but allow the user to enter data in other languages. I would need installations specifically for Chinese, Japanese, perhaps German & French.

Any ideas regarding the feasabilty of doing this?

Thanks for a great product.

Sounds straight forward to me. I have 4 installations of LinksSQL running and one of them (will be) running non-english language.

All you should need to do is copy the templates to the new installation..(and set meta tags for Language)

Klaus,

Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering if you could elaborate a bit on the meta tag thing. I know very well what they are -- I'm just a little bit in the dark as to how to apply them in the scenario you speak of.

Many thanks!
Mike

The best I can do is an example I guess - not sure about the actual code for each language - but I am sure a quick search in Google can help..

I set the following in the <head> for ex. Arabic:

Code:
<html dir="RTL" lang="AR">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1256">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="ar-ae">

Hope that helps - the dir=RTL is probably not need for you (Right-To-Left)

Cheers
