The time has come to make one site of mine http://finius.ru/ to work bilingual. I think I'll be able to learn howto's as pertains to Joomla itself in this regard. The question now is about template settings: When I setup Text Logo and slogan, or when I setup language page for Socials - how do I make it depend on language of browser? We'd need two text logos and two slogans, two different codepages for socials. Fonts too - there're more options to chose from in English fonts, much limited for Russian fonts, so it could be different fonts for different languages. There could be some other settings in template too...

Part of the solution can be found here:

second part is to create copy of the template and assign them to be shown on different menus. This way you can also set different logos etc.

Thank you for this info. Almost finished first bilingual site on localhost. Watched alot and read alot info about it by now. Still can't find out this little piece:
My site used to be in Russian. It wouldn't matter what language settings do people have when they come - all get Russian. Now I will set two languages, Russian and English. Then we have someone with, say Spanish language set in their System/Browser come to my site - what will they see? Nothing? Russian? English? How do I set default language for those that are not into the two languages I've set on my site?
I did ask this question in other places, seems like no one knows, seems like I am the first one to think about it... )))
The reason I need to know is that there are lots of visitors that come to me from different countries that speak Russian. Thus if their settings are not set in English, I'd need all other language set browsers see Russian part of my site. In Russian I have thousands of articles there, in English we would just begin, so it will be but a few articles and it'll take years to grow...

If you want, we can test it out when the site will be live. I can set any language on my machine and see what is going to be shown.
