Models of development of a multilingual web site
The pages of a multilingual web site may not be identical in all the languages.
Thus, before duplication or triplication of the pages in different languages, the web manager must be very aware of what type of multilingual web site he wants to design and which specific pages are to be translated. Three models of development of multilingual webs can be distinguished: the model of personalised content, the model of unified content and the model of hybrid content.
