Domain per language

Hello!

I'm going to select the best CMS for multilingual site and looks that Fork is very good :)

But I need to bound for specific domain: aaaa.com for English language aaaa.ru for Russian

Does it possible create multidomain multilingual site using Fork CMS?

I don't think that's possible (without custom development). It's easy to create a multilingual site with Fork CMS, but not for dedicated domain names. You would have an aaaa.com/en and aaaa.com/ru, etc...

What you can do, is redirect aaaa.ru to aaa.com/ru maybe? Someone also probably mentioned that you can copy all pages from one language to another with a hidden action. More info about it here: http://www.fork-cms.com/blog/detail/tip-hidden-actions

Note that Fork CMS thinks that a website in different languages should not be necessarily the same. So you don't have a single page in the admin panel that you can translate into multiple languages. No, you have a separate website for every language. Some pages are not needed in every languages so you only add pages that are needed in that new language. Because for every language, it's a separate website, this can be a bit harder to maintain. It's something that caused some discussion already, but if we can think of a good generic UX flow for both use cases (separate websites for every language OR 1:1 exact copy of the website but with different translations) then it could maybe change in the future.
