You are not developing a multilingual support for the designer right?
I think we want an easier approach to create the website for the END USER, its not that hard really, add some views to handle a relational DB for countries.
Then add a support to add a url structure, and dont limit the CMS to only be in the top level
subdirectory.
Make us be able to add folders to the CMS, so we can have URI´s below,
example.com/{COLLECTION}/{ITEM}
example.com/de/{COLLECTION}/{ITEM}
example.com/fi/{COLLECTION}/{ITEM}
This should be able to do in one sprint… then you can hassle with basing the redirect on browser language/ip afterwards.
Please tell me this is what your working on, and not some multilanguage dropdown in the desginer to change the designer language.
