Hi, i'm currently preparing a huge web application and while i was looking other websites i discovered that almost nobody use language switches to change interface language. All companies purchased different domain name like: - www.mywebsite.fr - www.mywebsite.com - www.mywebsite.es - www.mywebsite.de Can you tell me why are they doing this ? because it means that all domains share the same DB but only domain is used for SEO and to easily manage languages. However it means they must update each domain separately when they change code. So why are they doing this ? thx.Partly they do it to protect their trademarks and avoid the bad guys registering their name in another TLD. Some corporations (e.g. crucial) use something like fr.mywebsite.com instead -- Peter Ford phone: 01580 893333 fax: 01580 893399 Justcroft International Ltd. www.justcroft.com Justcroft House, High Street, Staplehurst, Kent TN12 0AH United Kingdom Registered in England and Wales: 2297906 Registered office: Stag Gates House, 63/64 The Avenue, Southampton SO17 1XS
