Hello everybody,

I'll make a Multi Language DNN Portal, and i would like to know what is the best way to do it.

I've to buy a module? I'm trying one but it doesn't work very well.

The DNN do this without thirt part modules? How it does that?

I notice that in the Default skin there is flags, but how it make the content change after choosing the flag?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards

The current versions of DotNetNuke support localization (multiple languages).

First, you'll need to go tho the Host Settings page and check the box that allows localization.

Next, you'll want to install "Language Packs" for the various languages you want to support.

Then, go to Languages under Admin and enable content localization.

After that, you should see some settings appear to support languages.

The "Flags" to which you refer is a skin object that lets the user choose the language.

There are some good FREE third party modules from EALO and Apollo.

There is a lot of information available. Look at the website of the German DNN User Group, too.

Hopefully, this is enough to get you started. Do ask questions so that I can provide more help
