AW: Translation process and Portuguese content

I think language-specific sitemaps would work either way, but might a bit easier that way (I don't know how Ryan creates the sitemaps atm).

Searches should also work either way, as the SMW query would be formulated via wildcards (e.g. "*/es" or "/es/*").

I guess having it like this would make for a more logical set of entry points into the site for those wishing to just view certain language translations, rather than all translations being hung of their english counterparts. It would also be more logical when trying to draw up language specific site maps, surely?

Would it still be ok for searches that filter by language, as mentioned previously?
