[ic] Language and more categories

[Oleh Ladan]

I'm working on the language part the way Aaron & Rene pointed out, it
just that the servers are down:(
But what about the second part how to create sub-directories? Any ideas?

By following these steps, you should get my example working in 10
minutes.

1) I tagged a text like this: [L]Good Morning![/L] on you index page
(catroot/pages/index)
2) Add a new column (eg. ru_RU) to the locale table (download the
locale.txt
file, edit with excel or whatever spread-sheet program, save as
tab-delimited, upload back to the server and replace the old version
3) Create a new entry to the locale-db, and add to the code-column "Good
Morning!" (without the "")
4) Add "dobrahye ootrah" in the ru_RU column
5) Apply the changes
Then create a link: <a href="[area
process/locale/ru_RU/page/index]">Change
to Russian<a/>
In your case it would look like this:
http://ukrainianshop.net/~ukrainia/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/process/locale/ru_RU
/pag
e/index
If this works, then just add [L] tags to all your text on your pages

Someone correct me if im wrong... But I would think the easiest way to
do this would be to make another directory for the second language
(normal pages in /pages/.. New language in "/pages/<language>/")  you
could just make an IC link that has something like [area
<language>/page] and it would take you to the other language.  Someone
could verify this for me... , you could probably do the
<language>/@@MV_PAGE@@ and get the same named page in the other
directory...
