passing from English to French

[cervm]

www.mexlingua.net. When i try to insert french link and pages, i publish but it is publish in the English pages, so, french comes INSTEAD of English, not by cliking the french icon.
How do i do to put all french pages linked to french icon?

Thank you

Re: passing from English to French

You should create another folder at the server called "french" & it will help if you also create one on your own computer called "french". Then when you publish your french pages they should be published to public_html/french/
The link to pages in this folder will be http://www.mexlingua.net/french/mypage.html

Re: passing from English to French

Hi, i take it that you have created a new folder in your c panel called french & you are publishing to public_html/french/ & checked spelling/upper case & lower case letters? I might be mistaken? but a 550 usually relates to an email problem?

Re: passing from English to French

Hi, you create a new folder under the public_html directory. Dont try & create a new public_html or public_html/french/ . Just a folder called french.

Re: passing from English to French

Hi, it looks like e you haven’t created a sub directory for french? As the link to french should be http://www.maxlingua.net/french/fran%E7ais.html or which ever name you gave the new folder/directory. I noticed that your link is only part of the url http://www.maxlingua.net/fran%E7ais.html
If you are getting more involved with languages you actually might of be better off creating sub domains for each one, as it looks like a site that may grow. I was under the impression that there were just a few pages. But not to worry you can still do it this way.

1st thing to do is delete this page http://www.maxlingua.net/index.html this is not the correct way to have an index page.

2nd Have you created a folder in your c panel called “french” ?

3rd if you have done the above, create a duplicate of your English index page & save it in a folder called french on your home computer. Now re-open this file called index & change the text on this page from English to French. Now you save & publish this file to public_html/french/ to have a link to this page from a Spanish or English page it would look like http://www.maxlingua.net/french/

4th If you then added another page to the French directory called services. You would publish to public_html/french/ & the link to this page would be http://www.maxlingua.net/french/sevices.html


See how you get on from here.

Re: passing from English to French

You have called one of your pages http://www.maxlingua.net/french/index_fr.html I assume you want this as your home page for the French area?
If so, on your home computer, rename this page to index only & save in your French folder. (Do not put fr or html onto the file name, just index) Now publish this page to public_html/french/
You will be able to get to the page via http://www.maxlingua.net/french/

Re: passing from English to French

Me again,
you talked about subdomains. I've created for french.maxlingua.net
How do I configure the pages for them to go into there? and once done, only by publishing in publish_html is enought?
Thanks again
