I'm working on a Wordpress website in the following test environment url: www.example.com/wordpress.

Once the site is complete and everything is tested, I want to deploy to three live environments:

www.example.com/nl www.example.com/fr www.example.com/en

nl, fr and en being the languages of the website. So here is my concern: What if I just copy everything from /wordpress to /en? I know all links will be broken, and also know how to fix this (http://interconnectit.com/124/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/)

But what if I, let's say, copy everything from /wordpress to /fr and /nl and delete all the pages in order to rebuild them in the correct language? What about the page id's, and the database? Is this a "safe" way to do such a thing, or are there easier methods?

Thanks

Or using a multilanguage plugin? – brasofilo Jul 4 '12 at 13:56
@brasofilo A multilanguage plugin! Of course. I always forget the easiest solutions... Got any suggestions? qTranslate doesn't seem to work well with the latest version of Wordpress. – wp-hooves Jul 5 '12 at 6:39
My previous comment contains 2 suggestions :) – brasofilo Jul 5 '12 at 8:13
