I searched for similar posts but didn't find any relevant and this topic has to be important for more than me.. I guess.
My company has a very slow process for updating our webpages. We host the pages ourselves using Django which has support for internationalization and localization. Transifex is aiding us doing the actual translations.
With this setup there are many steps and parties involved in updating/creating a webpage. 1) write english content 2) design/program the html/template files 3) extract language files (.po) 4) upload language files to Transifex 5) wait until translations are complete (we have several translators helping us out) 6) download translated language files 7) deploy servers 8) cross fingers and hope we didn't forget a translation key or misspelled a word
We'd prefer to have our service and the webpages completely separated so that our marketing folks can be fully in charge of all webpages and our tech people can focus on our service.
Other info: We'd prefer a SaaS CMS service for easy maintenance. We tried Wordpress but didn't like the multilingual side and design constraints. The webpages today consist of a front-page with a few sub-pages (django), the account pages e.g. login and forgot password (django) AND a blog section blog.company.com (Wordpress).
What CMS do you recommend?
