Working on mostly multi-lingual web sites, I’m finding it would be very useful to be able to organize snippets in a hierarchical way as we do for pages. For example every time I need a navigation menu snippet, I need to have it separated for the English language and the Italian one. The same goes for footers, headers, etc. At the time being I’m simply naming them like: “header\_it”, “header\_en”, etc. But when you have more languages, and/or several design layouts for the same site (which therefore requires to maintain multiple headers, footers, etc.: e.g. “header\_reboot\_it”, “header\_reboot\_en”, where “reboot” is a different layout which requires a different snippet content) it could quickly become difficult to deal with a fairly long sequential list of snippets. --M ---

I agree, I’ve got a site with about 30 snippets (on an English only site) and some way to organize them would be greatly appreciated. ---

And reference them in a way similar to this: \
