Question

Hi,

Do you know any point and click, wysiwyg website design programs that can create a dual language website?  I am using kompozer for linux, and have tried some for windows, but I havent had any luck with them.

I had an ideato devide the site in half with two tabs at the start, for Enlgish and Spainsh , then put the pages for each language under these tabs, but I havent found a way using the programs I have yet.  

I dont know how to use HTML or advanced methods, so I need something simple to use.THanks very much in advance for your help.

Dale.

Answer
Hello Dale,

Any editor, WYIWYG or not, won't be able to do what you ask.  You're basically developing two websites here.  So, if you want to develop it in a static manner, you'll have to manually create each page.

What's a more efficient way is to utilize a content management system.  Doing so would allow you to use the same visual template for content but different languages.  So, in essence, you cut your work in half.

In any case, I'm not a huge supporter, and certainly not a user, of WYSIWYG editors, so the most I can offer is a link.  Check this page for some reviews of WYSIWYG editors:
