Hi again,

What if I wand to have a Drupal site in English, French and Spanish. During the installation, I guess I must download the French and Spanish Translation (.po), but what will I have to do to give my users the possibility to choose the language they want ?

Thanks in advance

You can do that later. Enable the "Locale" module. You can add as many languages you want, and import translations of the interface
admin/settings/language
admin/build/translate
Users can choose language in their user page, and there is also a "Language switcher" block.

There is also the "Content translation" module, for content (or the i18n module of course).

Hi,

I am in the middle of planning a drupal site for a law firm specializing in immigration. The main clients to this firm will be Spanish speaking. If I create the site and use the methods you speak of here in this thread, will the site be indexed in Spanish or English (hopefully both).

Thanks for any pointers on this.

Search engines will index whatever appears on any page they can access by following any links. Normally this means everything.

So this module enables 2 pager per site? For instance, will there be a "www.mobilesugar.net/mobile-review" and a "www.mobilesugar.net/mobile(spanish)-review(Spanish)". Will there be 2 pages to index (one English and one Spanish)?

Yes. there can be "/es" pages or something similar. You have some choices.

If translation is an important part of your development, you will also need the http://drupal.org/project/i18n module. The core modules cover only the most common cases.
