NDP: New Democratic Party of Canada
kbahey - August 28, 2005 - 19:56
Here is a nice theme and site design for the NDP.
An interesting way of doing bilingual content is to have a separate domain, since the three letter acronym for the party in French is NPD, so they keep the relative path the same and change the domain.
The design is by a company called Web Network Services.
Perhaps someone from there can give us more details.
Note: I am not a party member or affiliated with them in anyway, nor the web development company,.

TR module
The site is Drupal using Smarty as the template engine. The bilingual content is handled by a version of the TR Module (which includes a feature that will switch language based on the domain).

tr module
The tr module was actually developed by rob ellis (mostly while working at Web Networks) specifically for this site.
The module is particularly useful for Canadian sites, many of which have a requirement to have content in both official languages, but rarely a capacity to maintain the translations of all their pages.
The tr module allows you to easily create and maintain the translated pages as they are available, without limiting access for the second language (in our case, French), by substituting the english pages when no translation is available.
Anyone working on translation modules really should take a look at this one.
Or Substituting a friendly translation not found page
In rob's latest version (see link in my other post) it also allows one to add a friendly translation not found page - if no translation is found.
And I have to agree with you alan - people working on translation modules do need to take a look at this module.

how did they do the navigation?
I like the left hand side navigation in categories and sub categories. How did they do that?
Pretty standard
Its just some careful themeing of a menu.module menu block.
