I'm building a site where depending on the domain name, the content of the site may vary slightly. So I thought, I could use the multi language function of Umbraco.
Is there any way I can edit the language list and add my own languages? Basically, the language on the site is always the same, but I want to use the "different language feature" to have different content.
I'd like to add my own languages like "visitortype1", "visitortype2", "visitortype3" So my domains are visitortype1.domain.com, etc. The website has about 10 pages, where on 8 pages, the content is always identical.
I'd like to use the "language feature" because the domains will grow quite quickly over time (say, more than 10). So when I edit content, for those 8 pages, I can edit them for all domains at once. (default language, no content for the specified lanuage) (that's how this works, right?)
I thought that adding languages would be the most simple way to achieve this since this type of content management works like this in umbraco. So basically, I'm "misusing" this feature :)
I thought I read somewhere the multi language/domain feature has the shared content feature built in (if content available for specific language, then show this content, otherwise, shows content of default language), so I thought it would be simpler to use this feature.
Adding custom languages
Hi,
I'm building a site where depending on the domain name, the content of the site may vary slightly.
So I thought, I could use the multi language function of Umbraco.
Is there any way I can edit the language list and add my own languages?
Basically, the language on the site is always the same, but I want to use the "different language feature" to have different content.
Anyone who can point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes it's possible but what language is it that you're looking to add?
With regards to the multi-lingual site there are many different ways to achieve this so might need to know a little more about your project.
Is the site structure the same? How much of the site will be have different content? Are you planning to run the same content via 2 domains?

Hi,
I'm not sure you need to add new languages, you can just add a new site each time and change the hostname to the new domain.
How you deal with the shared content is another discussion, but does that make sense?
