Multiple Language Support - Publish Your Pages in Different Languages |
 |
|
If you want to create multiple language translations of your web pages, it is easy with VWD-CMS 1.0. All you need to
do is configure a new Language in the Languages.xml configuration file and it will appear in the Language drop down list.
When you want to create a page in a new language, just select the language that you want from the list and start
writing your language specific content. VWD-CMS 1.0 has a Language Control that will automatically show up on your pages
when you have multiple languages configured. Users click the language that they want to view the page and the information
is passed to the web server on the Query String of the URL. VWD-CMS 1.0 automatically detects the new language from the
Query String and loads the correct language specific version of the page.

Web Page Content / HTML Editor
The Web Page Content Editor is where you edit the content (HTML, Text, Images) of the main body section
of your web pages.
Web Page Property Editor
The Web Page Property Editor makes it extremely easy to set the Page Title, Page Description Meta Tag,
Page Keywords Meta Tag, Page Stylesheet, the RSS Feed Source URL (if applicable), and Ad Keywords
(if you are using Ads that support Keyword filtering such as Amazon.com).
Web Page Content / Ads / Navigation Editor
Web Page Content / Ads / Navigation Editor is where you define what reusable content, navigation controls, and ads
will appear on the web page. This screen provides the ability to customize the content and navigation controls that
are rendered on each page. This means that you get the best of both worlds - you get template based pages via ASP.NET Master Pages and using VWD-CMS allows you to customize the look and functionality of each individual page.
IIS and ASP.NET Server Settings Display
The IIS and ASP.NET Server Settings Display screen is very useful for quickly looking up the settings on the web server
as well as determining the VWD-CMS settings that come from the Web.config file.
