Bilingual Portfolio (Question)

Hi everryone,

 

my name is Jona and just the other day I created my portfolio - jonaphotography.com (if not completely public yet - password: 1235) - where I display my work together with a brief description of myself in english. Since I am located in germany though I am aiming for creating the same website in german with a german domain (jonaphotography.de). 

To my question: is there a way to copy the whole website and publish it under a german domain with everyting translated to german?

That way I could just have a Language button (eng on the german page and ger on the english) directing the user to the other doamin. 

 

I would be very thankful for any helpful answer, if you need further info, let me know - if it is not possible I will just have to recreate the Website in german.

Short answer: No.

 

Long Answer:  PF sites cannot be duplicated.  Only pages and galleries within the same site can be duplicated.

You could configure a subdomain like  de.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.de.com.  See link below for details.

Alternatively, use WordPress with the WP Multi-Lingual Plugin.

Thank you! I think for the size of the Website I have so far it shouldn't be to big of a deal to just create another Website in german and just duplicate the settings manually.
