Multilingual Website Editing
Sitekit CMS supports true multilingual site construction by enabling administrators to develop the multilingual versions of their sites in parallel allowing you to globalise your site. A site structure and design is created in English and then the content of the English language site are copied to each foreign language site to be translated. This has the advantage that the multilanguage sites can be developed over time with English language content appearing if no second language option is available.
The interface gives a clear indication of which pages have a translated version in place and which do not. Despite the parallel development the foreign language versions exist completely independently of the English language version and can be used as the primary site language or be accessed via different domains. Common phrases used throughout the site (i.e. search button text) are accessed via a dictionary system to give their foreign language versions.
Key features:

Foreign character set support - different character codes can be set on a page by page basis.
