Multilingual site -- possible to create content only in the non-primary language?

Luis Cruz	Wednesday 26 May 2004 1:18:16 pm Greetings all; I have read numerous threads on setting up a multilingual site but have not seen answers to a few questions I have. The web site I would like to setup would start off as being available in English and German. I setup the site to have English as the primary language and German as the secondary. I create some objects, press release for example, that have required fields. Now, the problem I am facing is this. Press releases may differ between the English and German language sites. A press release done in German may not have an English equivalent. Is there a way to get ezPublish to allow you to enter content that is only for the German "translation"? When I try to create a new press release object, I can only edit the German translation if I first fill in the required fields for the English translation. Cheers.

Luis Cruz	Wednesday 02 June 2004 2:34:47 pm Not sure I am understanding your reply; do I need two separate installs? I followed the directions you have posted in other threads about setting up a multi-lingual site. How can I take those directions and from there be able to create content that is only in German? Regards.
