Managing a multilingual website without the hassle
If you work with customers or residents in several languages, you need a site that can keep up. Not translated once and then forgotten, but a site where every language is maintained just as well. And that is exactly where it usually goes wrong.
The classic approach is a separate site per language, or a loose translation plug-in bolted on top. You probably know the result: the Dutch page is up to date, the French one is still on last year's version, and nobody knows for sure what is correct where.
Where multilingual sites often go wrong
Three things keep coming back:
-
Versions drift apart. You change one language and forget the other, because they are separate from each other.
-
Management gets heavy. For every change you have to do the same thing in several places.
-
You need technical help. Adding an extra language feels like a project of its own.
How Livalos handles it
With Livalos you manage your site in Dutch, English, French and German from the same environment. No separate websites to maintain side by side, no loose plug-in you have to get working yourself. You work on one site and choose per page the language versions you need.
You do that like the rest of your site management: in your browser, without a line of code, with sections and blocks. Change a text in one language and update the other language version right away, from one place, instead of juggling between systems.
The foundation underneath is Drupal, which has always been strong in multilingual sites. That is exactly why your site can grow neatly: start today with two languages and add a third later, and you build on what is already there instead of starting over.
Who this matters for
For organisations that work across language borders, sell internationally, or serve an audience that does not all speak the same language. Companies, associations and local governments that want to keep their site professional and up to date in several languages, without needing a developer every time.
