> When developing a multilingual site, it would be beneficial if the default/fallback language could be configured from forrest.properties. This would imply that, given 'no' as fallback, one of the following two scenarios would be true:
> 1)
> files: index.xml, index_es.xml, index_en.xml
> Requests for both index.html and index_no.html would generate the returned page from index.xml
> 2)
> files: index_no.xml, index_es.xml, index_en.xml
> Requests for both index.html and index_no.html would generate the returned page from index_no.xml
> In both cases the end result would be that there would be no need to maintain more than one file for the fallback language.
> I would prefer the second alternative just for the sake of symmetry and equality of languages. It has the additional benefit of making it very easy to change the default/fallback language - just change the forrest.properties setting. The second alternative would also make it easier to create a language override menu, as all the available languages/locales would be encoded explicitly in the file name.
