[SMARTY] newbie question

Hello everybody,


I'm just learning to use Smarty for our project website. And of course, I have 
some design questions ;-)

The website is to be three-lingual (English, French, Dutch). A page would have 
a header, a footer, a navigation part on the left (a simple menu) and the main 
content area (classical layout). All these parts have a version in each 
language, i.e. there is a French, Dutch and English menu. 

What I intended to do was to create for each 'real' page a .php file that would 
instantiate a Smarty object using a main template. The language would be a 
variable in the Smarty object. There would be three subdirs (en,fr,nl) which 
contain the content for each page. I would then have the template file read in 
the content (based on the current file name) in the correct language, the menu 
in the correct language, etc. For example if a visitor wants home.php in 
English, the content would be read from en/home.html (or en/home.php).

Is this a good way to proceed? Or is there a cleaner way? What about caching?


Thank you for your help,


Gert
