Hello everybody,
well, for purposes of development and maintenance, I need a structure of “group of templates groups”, I would like some help to get an equivalent structure, because the site I’m developing will be maintained by a non inici in programming, thanks a lot for your help
Best wishes, seb.
NB: it’s for, among other things, the different languages in which the site will be translated in the future, and there are others reasons

Hello everybody,
well, I saw this for my problem:
http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Multi_language_site_alternative
and I didn’t succes to run it, it doesn’t run, I think I didn’t do it correctly because I’ve got some problems to understand exactly what mean this part exactly :
To make sure the default language also works on the index page (without any country code added to the URL) you should also update the $global_vars array in your default path.php file.
To add more languages, just repeat step 1 - 4.
Step 4Create custom fields for your new language and add the country_code to the Field Name.
You should end up with Field Names like this:- title (default title field)
- fr_title (french title field)
- en_summary
- fr_summary
- en_body
- fr_body
and i didn’t find the path.php file, so I modified the admin.php file(Did I badly make?...)
Thank you in advance for everything
Best wishes, seb

Hello everybody,
well, I found a part of the solution to my problem, but, it doesn’t work anyway…
I explain myself:
-> I create the 2 files (index.php) required for make the switch between 2 languages in each appropriate’s directory.
-> I put the php’s switch in a template “header” after this html’s tag <body> in the page’s body.
-> I created a template for my default site for display the home’s page
but i don’t understand why it’s not work, I followed, as much as I was able to do it, the user guide, but nothing made for it
Somebody could bring me a little of help, direct me or something else please…
Beforehand, thank you for all
NB: I know I have somme difficulties with EE, but in php, in using the MVC design pattern, I haven’t got big difficulties
NB2: If I have to absolutly use the extension “ext.language_switcher.php”; Do somebody could say to me where to put it, thank you.
