    Thanks Sergie for letting us know that you and your team are actively working on the multi-language feature. Certainly, you know the backend infrastructure of your platform better than anyone else here, however I would just advise you not to think too complex. For example, yes unique urls are important, but for convenience are probably best if auto-generated, like e.g.: domain.com/en/page-or-article-title-in-current-language. (the url could still be changed in the actual article interface on demand)

    Any thoughts for a module 3rd party plug-in system ? Actually, would love to make my expand/collapsable module (which isn't build on top of "drop-down" and doesn't collapse when clicked outside of the container) available for other users of the platform.

      Easier said than done. :D We're always considering whether it makes more sense to push a quick fix or invest in a long-term solution with the limited time/resources we have. That's one of the challenges of product development. Localization is one of those things we have to build from the ground up because it touches so many parts of the experience.

      We're thinking about it :)
