Multilinguism

Elxis is an authentic multilingual content management system that allows you to shape the form and content of your webpage, accordingly to the language of the visitor. In Elxis, multilinguism is not identified with the term of translation, but it constitutes a fundamental element of the webpage itself, as well as a factor that defines all the pages layout. Moreover, Elxis is equipped with full UTF-8 support and additional functions for handling multibyte strings, that are not supported yet by the PHP. Elxis multilingual and language handling capabilities are unique.

Elxis 2008 is fully compatible with reverse-direction written languages (RTL), like Arabic or Hebrew. The module that is for language change has been updated and is now equipped with a new "Smart Switch", that, under circumstances ¹, allows the language to change while remaining in the same page. All the system messages as well as the date and time, are multilingual in the 2008 version.

RSS feeds became also multilingual² in version 2008. This means that you can distribute RSS feeds in various languages and third party webpages, in the appropriate language.

¹ Changing language and remaining in the same webpage is possible, if the requested webpage is available in the new language.
² The relevant parameter must be activated, in the Syndicate component.
