With TYPO3 you can have web sites with different languages. So visitors of your web site could choose the best language for him. Multi-language support in TYPO3 is needed first of all for web sites with target audience using different languages – international web sites, for example. There are two main strategies how to work with multilingual site:
<dir><dir>
Different language layers: all records contain additional layers for each activated language. So web site at different languages is absolutely the same – only text is different.
Different branches of page tree: separate page tree branch for each language. In this case different language versions could vary a lot – you could present different information for each language.
