How to create a multiple language website?

Hi,

I need help on the best way to create a multi language website.

I understand I have two ways to do it, using Joom!Fish or having separate websites for each language.

The first option would be the optimal one, but I'm having some issues I don't know how to solve. Maybe you guys can help me:

- How can I change the modules' title according to the language?
- How can I change categories' names according to the chosen language in SOBI2 and AdsManager?
- How can I chnage the template according to the chosen language?

Unless I find a solution for the above issues, I can't really use Joom!Fish for what I want.

The second option would be to create one separate website for each language. That would require me to add content multiple times, but we would be willing to do that. However, this would mean a user who registered on one language wouldn't have an account on the other languages.

My question is, is there a way to keep the users table synchronized between all the different language websites?

Also, if you have a different solution on how to implement a multi language website, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Yes, didn't realize Joom!Fish allowed the translation of ALL content, menus, components and modules of Joomla, plus alot of 3rd party extensions have plugins to work with JoomFish as well.

Do you mean Joomfish - Abstraction Layer

When i activate it - i just get this message

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/hsphere/local/home/mouseweb/danmarksfuglezoo.dk/joomla/components/com_joomfish/helpers/joomfish.class.php' (include_path='.:/hsphere/shared/apache/libexec/php5ext/php/') in /hsphere/local/home/mouseweb/danmarksfuglezoo.dk/joomla/plugins/system/jfdatabase/jfdatabase_inherit.php on line 36
