   Hi there,

I have been trying to figure out ways around the difficulty with having no proper multilingual ecommerce capabilities! Basically I have developed two web sites in two languages which obviously sell the same product. It appears that in order to set up the cart details in both languages this needs to be the way to go to have it as professional looking as possible. have the landing pages translated etc. I know it means double the work when adding products to the web sites, but thats not too difficult an issue with the html code being generated for the product on the product manager etc, but my main concern is that the sites I have are selling 'one off' and unique products and therefore its quite impossible to operate two stand alone product carts as stock quantities will never be right!! Is it therefore a possibliity to develop a system whereby either cart has the option of using a nominated cart for control of the stock availability and therefore if the user who is say using language 2 cart buys something, then the system goes and checks the availability of the product being sold on both websites from the product manager in say cart one and can either accept or reject the order as being available or out of stock! I think this may be a solution to those other persons who are trying to sell globally in various languages! I'm really finding it difficult to come up with any other way of adressing this issue! I would have though it would be quite a straight forward concept to implement!?
