My Dreamcore Presentation

Dreamcore is just around the corner and I am fully immersed in my presentation.
The topic is “Building Successful and Efficient Multilingual Solutions with Sitecore”.

My plan is to spend a few minutes showing the fundamentals of multilingual support in Sitecore and then drill down into the use cases and some real world scenarios I’ve witnessed over a few years.

I believe this format will be suitable for the beginners who are thinking about a multilingual implementation and also for the experienced folks as I have a few secret tricks up my sleeve!

If there anything specific you would expect from my presentation, please keep the comments coming.

By the way, full Dreamcore 2011 agenda can be found here:

Hope to see you there!
