Converting a static mulit-language site to nukes

[chrissearle]

Am evaluating nukes at the moment - looks interesting. However - I'm not sure of the best approach for the language handling.

The current site is multilingual (well bi-lingual) with the ability to switch language on the fly on each page.

By this I mean a link (currently in the heading at the top) on each page where the user can click on the language they want and then the system will return the same page but in the correct language variant.

Each article therefore has two versions - one for each language (altho the mechanism could cope with more).

Is there a good way to achieve this in nukes as it stands or should I be looking into customizing and/or new modules?

I'm currently looking into using the news, html, newsletter and polls modules.

The problem is that the content stored in backend does not depend of the current locale, so it is up to the site creator to manages it itself.

I am wondering how big are the modifications needed to support that. Any thoughts ?

how are you going to do "on the fly" translations?

depending on how that is accomplished, it may be possible to do the translations on the way out through the page rendering mechanism. (?)
