Hey, first time asking a question on Stack Overflow, so go easy on me!

I’ve recently begun working on a CMS driven website which requires multilanguage functionality (12 languages!). I have, in the past, rolled out Expression Engine/Wordpress builds but the end product has always been difficult for the client to use and often very difficult to maintain.

For this new build, I want to find the (as close to) perfect solution to this, as a 12 language site could quickly become a nightmare!

I am wondering if there are any lightweight CMS’s that can easily be extended, so I can use the base CMS functionality and expand it to suit my needs. The CMS is required to be PHP based. Unfortunatly there is not time or budget to be able to build a bespoke CMS, so it has to be a ready made solution (otherwise it would be codeigniter all the way…).

Thanks!

    I have three suggestions for WordPress (not in your question, I know, but you tagged it) :

    If you are willing to spend money on it, I can recommend the WPML plugin for WordPress.

    If not, there are two posibilities for WordPress:

    • Use the Multi-Site-Feature from WordPress > 3.0 (one Site per Language)
    • qTranslate linked with qTranslate Meta. I use it, and it works realy good (But never tested with 12 languages).
