Hello Fabian,

First two are easy to make with two siteaccess. The third would be a problem.
Here are some similar topics for more info:

"First two are easy to make with two siteaccess. The third would be a problem"

actually, the 3 can be successfully set up in the same ezpublish installation.

you will have to set up at least 5 siteaccesses:
- german front, site1
- english front, site1
- multilang admin, site 1

- english front, site2
- multilang admin, site 2

etc...

This means basically:

- very little configuration is kept in files in the override folder. Possibly the location of imagemagick, and other stuff that depends only on your server/php config. And, of course, the matching rules that decide which siteaccess is to be used based on domain/url.

- for every website you create, you have to be careful to keep in sync all the config files in the siteaccess folders of every siteaccess. The settings that you need to make sure are the same (and are different from the siteaccesses used for other sites) are, all in site.ini.append.php:
DatabaseSettings/all
FileSetting/vardir
SiteAccessSettings/RelatedSiteAccessList

Please also note that with careful configuration you can do even more complex stuff, such as:
- creating different sadmin siteaccesses for the same website, so that german admins/editors have a german interface and english ones have an english one
- set a different root node for the english and german siteaccesses within the same website, etc...
