Static site multilanguage

[whisher]

Hi.
I'm wondering what's the better way to
manage with a multilanguage site.
My idea up to now:
1)
index.html (default)
index_it.html
index_fr.html
the other sections
products.html
prodotti.html
produits.html

or similia

2)
/index.html (default)
/it/index.html
/fr/index.html
the other sections
/products.html (default)
/it/products.html
/fr/products.html

I like most the latter but I'd to know your opinion.

Bye.

I would organize them using the second list, at least that way you can group all your language files together, plus it's the convention to organize in this method rather than confusing the filename structure of your individual pages, you could always user htaccess mod rewrites to work around it though

I would use a cloned directory structure.
