Hello
I have been asked to build a web site in two languages and I would
like to use mediawiki if possible.
What is the best route to have the navigation in the different
languages? The options I can see are:
1) Run two separate wikis (requires 2 databases and separate logins)
There are options for a "shared database" in DefautlSettings.php, but
I have not tried them and they are marked beta.
If you want shared uploads, be sure to set the appropriate options.
2) Run two wiki code bases, both pointing at the same
database
with only differences in LocalSettings being the URL references for
the navigation. Add suffix of :Lang1 and :Lang2 to the page names
(will pointing two wikis at the same database cause problems?)
That should cause no problem, assuming that:
1. The upload directory is shared
2. You've disabled DB messages
3) Something else?
Meta just has page titles in different languages. The downside of this
(and #2) is that you can't use interlanguage links.
