3 Languages in one drupal site - common forum
Hi I need to have a drupal site which supports 3 languages where all pages must have versions representing each of the 3 languages. However the discussion forum should be common to all 3 languages. How is this possible in drupal? Is there a specific module to handle this? Thanks in advance. Srimal.
i18n.module does just that. Srimal Jayawardena wrote:

In my experience this module is sometimes not up to the task. For my site I needed to share nodes across the sites, so what i did was table sharing in the database via prefixes in the settings.php. the result is on www.airportcitizen.net, when you check the icons on the map all the reviews are visible from all the pages. when using prefixes be careful of the cache prefix bug, if using stock drupal 5.1 balazs

I laughed when I read the domain name "Airport Citizen (.net)". It reminded me of the movie 'The Terminal' with Tom Hanks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Terminal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehran_Karimi_Nasseri I think Tom Hanks in that movie and Mehran Karimi Nasseri can both be said to be true "airport citizens" :) Next time I travel abroad, I'll visit your site again, and maybe contribute something.

For the situation you describe, it seems that the i18n module works just fine. For your pages, enable multilingual support on the admin/content/types/page, and have it disabled for forum posts. You just need to make sure that the site multilingual display option are set correctly for what you want under admin/settings/i18n. (I recently worked on something similar for www.casainpiazza.ch) Unless you have incredibly specific needs, I don't think you need to do any modifications to the i18n module.
