  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.
  

  Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

  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.
