Hi moh3,
There are a few different approaches. A good starting point is to think about the end-user experience you wantΓÇöwhat should the URLs look like, how should the CMS edit screen be organized, etc.
Here are the main options:
Separate records per language: Each article has multiple records (one per language), and you toggle or filter by language. The site uses a default language unless another is specified.
Single record with multiple languages: If you don't have too many languages, you can duplicate the fields within the same record. You'd use the tab interface (one tab per language) or organize them into sections.
Will all language content be exactly mirrored, or might some languages have more or different content than others?
For the front end, you could use a language selector dropdown (stored in a cookie), filter articles by language, or use different directories/subdomains for each language.
Sorry for the delay in responding. If you're still working on this, let me know how you'd like it to work or how far you've gotten so far.

thank you for your feedback it is a general question no rush just wondering how would you handle it, is that setup compatible with permalinks, trying to have a dynamic solution minimize manual setups, in the world of WP, WIX and other tools client expectations has changed, and i prefer your CMS as you know exactly what your are cooking :)

There's lots of ways to set it up. I'd start at the end and thing about how's you'd like it to be and work in reverse.
Think about how you'd most like it to be structured on the back end (single record, multiple records, multiple sections) and on the front end (language pulldown, /en/ language subfolders, subdomains, etc.).
