How to switch from country to country (8 posts)

    Hello,

    I work for a company and we was wondering how we would do different countries without having to install 4-5 different wordpresses.

    Example:

    We have a USA Corp Website that displays information ONLY in the USA.
    (ex: max.com) [please go to downloads]

    We also have our company in the Phillippines as well so we need a page for them that displays only information regarding phillippines
    (ex: max.com/ph) [please go to downloads, see how the downloads are different then the usa download area]

    Also..
    The only main things that will be changing on every site will be like
    + The Downloads Page
    + Blog Posts (the ones on the homepage)
    + Are other buttons like Company, About us - will show on all pages.

    So..

    How can I go about doing this so I can switch to different countries without having to install 5 different wordpresses.

    Thanks so much!!

    Have a look at the information here.
    http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language

    There is some information relating to running multiple laguages.

    I've not personally dealt with language variation on WordPress, so i can't comment on how it works and how to do it, but the above link has piles of information.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the replies, i'm not really interested in the translations for the words, im more concerned about different content shhowing for different countries.

    I have 3 folders on my main domain:

    mydomain.com/ (corp site)
    mydoamin.com/ph (phillippines site)
    mydomains.com/ca (canada)

    Now, I dont' want to install wordpress on all three places only one, however I want the content to be different if they go to mydomain.com/ph

    Is there a way i can change a country and the content changes to that specific country? without doing multiple installs of wordpress

    Then might consider using categories.
