I would be interested to hear if Jay (or anyone else) has used the Relativity Data Model for a multilingual website and the Pros and Cons of doing so.

Greetings,

To be honest I haven't used Relativity with Drupal multilingual, however, in general, I think it would work just fine. Regardless of site language, Relativity is wired with simple entity references throughout using a one-to-one or one-to-many strategy from the parent node. As for Pros or Cons... I believe that Relativity offers a number of UI and Views improvements and should be great way to go.

I'd love to hear how your experience turns out.

Best regards,
J

reason of existence of both OpenOffice and LibreOffice really lies in the history and influenced by some major companies including oracle and so.
