Languages and versions

Ok so this is only a test version and there will be future developments but some things have to be got right very early on.
I notice there are at least French, German and Spanish versions of 43things ( fr.43things.com, de.43things.com, es.43things.com ) and I’m concerned that what we are testing here will develop into en.43places.com if not us.43places.com .

I already made a suggestion about translations, which would be the ideal way to go, but until that becomes a possibility it’s vital to have multilingualism built in all the way through.




So what is needed?





  • One 43places, not multiple versions

  • Alternative names for places leading to exactly the same pages.

  • Automatic Flagging of which language an entry or goal is written in based on the writer’s default language, but changeable

  • Options to filter entries by language when reading, but with ‘all’ as the default.
