<p class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’d like to set up multiple sites using
subfolders. Basically the client wants their site in multiple languages,
but doesn’t want to attempt to synchronise the various sites and pages
between the languages or do anything that the content translation/i18n modules
offer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So I want a bunch of independent sites in a multi-site setup.
This could easily be achieved using domains like <a
href="http://www.example.com">www.example.com</a>, de.example.com,
fr.example.com etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The question is, can I do the same thing putting the sites
at: <a href="http://www.example.com">www.example.com</a>, <a
href="http://www.example.com/de">www.example.com/de</a>, <a
href="http://www.example.com/fr">www.example.com/fr</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This guy explains the same problem quite well <a
href="http://drupal.org/node/30857">http://drupal.org/node/30857</a>, but then
the rest of the thread seems to lose track of the task and not give a decent
answer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>(it might be easier to understand the question if you forget
about i18n altogether and just consider the question of putting multiple sites
in subfolders).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>John<o:p></o:p></p>
