 * Hi,
 * I run a website selling sports lessons in the UK. We are looking to expand the
   venues we have to include some in Sweden.
 * If i wanted to do this, which would be the best way?
 * WordPress multi site, one English one Swedish.
 * WPML, translate the lot. but does this create duplicate pages in the selected
   languages? or just serve the content in the selected language?
 * I have used a translation plugin and managed to translate the test version of
   the website, but need to minimise the chance of an English customer buying a 
   Swedish event. So if the pages are all on the same domain i dont know if this
   would suffice.
 * I dont want to go through the whole set up of multiple sites or languages though
   if it is not worth it for 2 websites if i can just simply translate the pages.
 * Although this part is plugin related, i run Event Espresso on the website which
   is limited to one currency. The translate option would be cheaper as i would 
   need to buy extra licensing if i ran multisite or multilingual.
 * I think my main questions are, as anybody done something similar? anybody who
   has used event espresso to run events and has found a way to work around the 
   limitations of the plugin.
 * I have asked on their support forums about this, but they say it is not a simple
   feature request.all i wanted really was to be able to assign two currencies and
   select the one for the country where the events are held. its gone from translating
   a website to possibly running two websites that do the same thing.
 * Any input/suggestions/peoples experiences with this would be very much appreciated.
   Even just a couple of links to tutorials!
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Phil
 * PS. I know there is a multisite section on these forums, but it says if you’re
   not already running a MU install then thats the wrong forum. With wordpress being
   open source i couldnt find a ‘Pre sales’ area.

 * I can’t answer the part about espresso only using one currency, but WPML basically
   creates sub-directories for each language. So yes, you create a duplicate page
   in Swedish, translate it and then the url changes from site/page-link to site/
   sw/page-link-translated-title. The 2 pages are linked and then the user can change
   languages on that page if you have the language switcher menu enabled.
