EE Podcast

A new episode of The ExpressionEngine Podcast is now live and available for your listening pleasure!

Episode #54 picks up from our conversation about multi-lingual sites in episode #49. This time around, we focus more on double-byte character sets and nuances with Asian-language sites.

Episode #54

In Multi-Language Sites: Part Deux, Lea and I talked with EE developer Nicolas Bottari, who spent the past 8 years in Japan before recently returning to his Canadian homeland. Nicolas has extensive experience working on multi-lingual sites, particularly sites using double-byte characters.

Nicolas detailed a bit of his planning process for these types of sites, and offered a very clever approach to custom fields for conditionally showing translated content to particular content authors. He also discussed some of his challenges when upgrading a version 1 multi-language site to EE v2.

Nicholas also recommended several add-ons that he uses to make his life easier when working with mult-lingual sites, including his own Zenbu entry list manager.

Have a listen yourself.

Stay Tuned!

For our next episode, we'll be talking with Jacob Russell of Devot:ee about speed and optimization with EE.

The Coolest Person I Know

Emily Lewis

Yeah, that would be me: .

I'm a freelance web designer of the standardista variety, which means I get excited about things like valid POSH, microformats and accessibility. I ply my trade from my one-person design studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico 87106 USA.

A Blog Not Limited is my personal blog where I pontificate about web design, web standards, semantics and whatever else strikes my fancy. Head on over to Emily Lewis Design if you'd like to see my work or, even better, hire me.
