Hi everyone, and happy new year. We recently went live with our new web site, all done with Radiant, come and visit and leave us some feedback when you get a chance: > **[Radiant Heating Systems | WarmlyYours](https://www.warmlyyours.com/en-US)** > > WarmlyYours offers industry leading warranties and 24/7 customer service for our affordable and effective radiant heating systems. My question for the list is we are now looking at creating our canadian sites (bilingual) and we want to integrate this all into one radiant site. What would be the best practice ? Create subfolder for our US and canadian sites ? [www.warmlyyours.com/us](http://www.warmlyyours.com/us) [www.warmlyyours.com/ca](http://www.warmlyyours.com/ca) Then should we use language redirect within the canadian to handle en-ca vs fr-ca locale?

Are the English and French ‘sites’ completely independent in terms of the content they have? 2. Will there be the same content on French and English pages? Will each English page have a French equivalent? 3. Do you want it to accommodate cases where some pages are present in English but not in French and vice versa? I had started a couple of threads about this and these may help: 1. Initial Discussion - [http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2007-September/006364.html](http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2007-September/006364.html) 2. The solution I implemented - [http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2007-October/006881.html](http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2007-October/006881.html) 3.
