There are two types of WSN Links installs you can use: English-only, or a multilingual install. If you are going to be using WSN Links in a language other than English, you are very likely to want to do a mulitlingual install. If you want to use one of the existing language packs, you must do a multilingual install. If you are sure that your site will only be in English, then you will probably prefer to do an English-only install.

Some points to consider in choosing between the two:

• Multilingual takes the language out of the templates. The result is that templates are filled with language variables and not as easy to read, however chaning language is quicker since it's done all at once through the language section, and you can handle two languages with the same templates.
  
• The templates used by the multilingual version can be found in your templates/multilingual directory. English-only templates are in templates/default.
  
• Even with English-only, there will still be items in your language section. These include outgoing emails, page titles, and various other things which cannot logically fit into a template.
  
• English-only templates are much easier to recogize and find your way around in since all the text is written in directly... however you will tend to lose more of your customized text on upgrades because of this.
  
• If you edit your templates offline in a WYSIWYG editor such as FrontPage or DreamWeaver, it will be much more comprehensible with the English-only templates due to the smaller number of template variables.
