# Multi-language "optimisation"

 * This is not an issue with the WordPress installation per se, but I wanted to 
   build a site which is bilingual. For this I’ll have 3 subdomains:
    two for each
   of the languages I want to make the site available and one for images and static
   data. The reason why I do this is because I not only want to change the language
   of the interface, but rather that I’m trying to write the same content and the
   same posts in two different languages. Is there any way that I could make this
   without installing two WordPress instances on each of the subdomains and have
   to keep two instances of the same files (instead of just simply redirecting the
   users to the appropriate subdomain and keep separate database entries for the
   two languages? I apologise in advance if this was asked before, I searched for
   over an hour and haven’t found any references over any of the forums. Also I’m
   sorry if I posted in the wrong sub-forum, I didn’t find any of them to be appropriate
   for this question.

 * There is more than one way to accomplish this but I’ve read very good things 
   about this [http://wpml.org/](http://wpml.org/) or you can try this [http://polylang.wordpress.com/](http://polylang.wordpress.com/)
   too 🙂

 * Thank you for the suggestions but I’d rather go with the second option. =)
    Still
   not quite what I would be looking for, I was mostly hoping I could split the 
   site versions in subdomains, makes it look a tad bit more professional. And I
   was hoping by this method I’d reduce the “footprint” of the site, although this
   isn’t required. I’ll wait to see if there are any other suggestions posted here.
