Hello, I have narrowed down my forum software decision to xenforo and the multisite add-on is the helping to seal the deal. I want to know if the following can be achieved with minimal development as I don't want play with code too much and don't plan to spend much money.
I am building a bilingual forum and have decided the best way forward is to have 2 related sites for example: en.mysite.com / fr.mysite.com.
The sites will have similar look and structure just mainly the topics will be different.
@XCentral
1) with multisite add on can these 2 sites share logins, users and stats but have their own New posts section and even categories?
2) could it be possible to have a widget with popular new topics or editors picks from the other site to encourage cross interaction for bilingual users?
3) I plan to advertise as mysite.com. Any issue (in SEO, or other) if the new user visiting mysite.com will be redirected as per their locale? Either en as per their locale or default to fr site? The registered user as per their preferences?
4) does above setup require 1 or 2 xenforo licenses?
Any comments, suggestions or examples or similar setup are welcome.
That's it for now.
