 * Hi!
 * I am new in the forum so Hello to everyone!
 * I need to create a multilingual website for my company. This company has two 
   locations and they should share one domain. The structure should be like:
 * [http://www.company.com](http://www.company.com) (this site should be the homepage
   on which the user chooses paris or london)
    [http://www.company.com/paris/](http://www.company.com/paris/)**
   fr**/content & [http://www.company.com/paris/](http://www.company.com/paris/)**
   en**/content [http://www.company.com/london/fr/content](http://www.company.com/london/fr/content)&
   [http://www.company.com/london/en/content](http://www.company.com/london/en/content)
 * What would you do? Create a multisite so that /paris and /london are the sites
   and then translate them with wpml?
 * Any Info and help would be great!
    Thank you Stefan

 * Hey Stefan! I think the best option would be to create the multisite with London
   and Paris as sub-sites in directories. Then, like you said, you can translate
   the sites with WPML and in the WPML settings, you can set the URL format to have
   different languages in directories, so you would have the URL format exactly 
   as you mentioned above.

 * Hey Lauren!
    Thank you very much! 🙂 I dont know why but I am not a big fan of
   wpml because I read good and _bad_ things about the plugin. Here is another idea:
   I am creating the multisite with sub-site London and Paris. Then inside each 
   sub-site I create the **pages** /fr and /en. Then I could create individual pages
   in each language with diffrent images, headings,… With an 301 redirect I could
   then redirect the pages /en and /fr to the homepage of each language. The url
   format would then be as I want it to be. Or do I miss something? What do you 
   think? As a language switcher I could use the [Multisite Language Switcher](https://wordpress.org/plugins/multisite-language-switcher/)
