I'm using i18n & the general language mods in a site I'm building, but want to make sure I can customize the individual language sites a bit. Different site name (in the proper language) theme, and perhaps modules. The main thing is I want a different theme. Others that can be different are site name & favicon.

I tried using the same database between
www.mysite.com and
cn.mysite.com

but I'm unable to differentiate the theme and site info settings (for obvious reasons, they're sharing the same database). How can I correctly achieve this?

It should be possible to achieve this using sections => http://drupal.org/project/sections

I'll check it out today & give it a try. Cheers!

Out of curiosity, is there any way to achieve it through simply differenciating the database?

See this book page to enable translation of some site settings and info => http://drupal.org/node/67824

mudupont, the info there is for 4.7. I'm using 6. Still the same?

edit: found it after scrolling down a bit further. Working nicely! Thanks for the help! Next thing I'm looking to do is to configure two different instances of acquia slate. Placing one in sites/default and one in sites/cn.mysite.com isn't quite working. The seascape.jpg is still the same.

Back to this again.

What I need translatable are:

pages, book, blog.

NOT translatable:
product
product kit (the ubercart ones)

Do I need to share any specific tables besides the usual (user, roles, profile...)? using Subdomains (not the module) and the content isn't synching properly.

Reason for not the ubercart ones is because each is going to have separate currencies. Though in the future, if I need french and german, they can be translatable since the carts will all use Euros.
