Seperate Languages In Same Database

Already had a conversation with UNA support about the platform and languages. They stated that having a site using language translation is very complex.

My though is why not use the language switch to populate a language field used to store the chosen language flag for each post created in every mod. similar to how poligot is used. This way field labels and field data will be same language. When the posts are displayed it uses a query to only display the records associated with that language. This way the site can be multi-language specific using one database. Every time a new language mod is created and installed the corresponding language field is populated with the corresponding language by default.

Benefits would allow an international site where members could create post and view posts in several languages by using the language switch as well a single language member selecting their language. Most Europeans (as well as Russians) speak at least 2 languages. One site, multi-language with out complex translation engine, with out multi-data sets.

Please leave a comment if you would use such a feature and let UNA know.
