Model for a multilingual site

I developed a simple multilingual blog with CI4. The way I got around the "translation problem" is that every article is really a stand alone article in english or in french. They're not a translation. So it's a lot simpler. There's no link between the articles in different languages and there's no problem if an article exists only in one language and not the others. It may be a problem if you want to switch language while you're reading something. But in my case, it's not really a problem.

I wrote a blog post on how to make a bilingual CI4 web app using this logic if you're interested.

That would be a problem in my case as they need to be on the same link and sharing some common attributes
