Not answered localization - 2 domains for 2 languages

Hi

I want a multilingual site but it will be on the domain level, and not within the same domain:

myEnglishsite.com
myFrenchsite.com

When you goto each domain, it will detect the the correct language, and not use a querystring or pathprefix
i.e. instead of
http://www.myEnglishsite.com/en/default.aspx
it would be
http://www.myEnglishsite.com /default.aspx/default.aspx
and the same for the other language

Is this possible? if so could you give me an idea please.
thanks

Hello Quade,

Fortunately, this is possible our of the box.

You should use the following configuration:
web.config:

    
            <localization defaultProvider="Sitefinity"  
        
             persistenceMode="DomainName"  
        
             defaultCulture="en" cultures="en, bg"> 
        
             <cultureMappings> 
        
               <add key="yourensite.com" culture="en" /> 
        
               <add key="bgsite.bg" culture="bg" /> 
        
             </cultureMappings> 
        
             ... 
        
            </localization>

Note the key and culture mappings. The key is holding your domain name corresponding to the value set in the culture property.

Hi Georgi,

If I have 2 multilingual domain names, does this means what I need 2 licences for Sitefinity?

Thanks,
Anton.

Hello Anton,

Please contact our sales guys - you need only one license. They will give you a special Annex to our End User License Agreement which you will have to sign in order to receive a free license for the second domain.
