Question

I edited my site with FrontPage, there I created some template pages .dwt in the root of the each language /en/master.dwt /fr/master.dwt and so one.

Now, when passed the site under Adobe Dreamweaver, it seems do not “recognize” them.

I understood that Dreamweaver puts all templates in a folder Templates, but… I don’t want it. It broke all my relative paths!

Is it a way to tell Dreamweaver do use my templates there where they are?

Answer 1

If the .dwt file is moved from the Templates folder, or if the Templates folder is moved or renamed, the link will be broken. It is very important to keep the .dwt file in the Templates folder where Dreamweaver creates it.

Taken from Understanding paths in Dreamweaver templates

I suggest you create each language as an independent folder inside of your Templates folder.

So /fr/master.dwt becomes Templates/fr/master.dwt

In the end, it makes sense to have your templates exist inside of a templates folder organized by language.
