Zenario CMS: Advanced Multilingual Website Management System

Complete multilingual CMS solution for global organisations

Zenario CMS delivers enterprise-grade multilingual website functionality, enabling organisations to create, manage, and maintain websites in multiple languages with ease and flexibility.

It is designed to be used by non-technical administrators, and even those who don't have knowledge of the target languages of a website.

Zenario's comprehensive multilingual framework supports international companies, educational institutions, and global organisations who need sophisticated language management capabilities.

Core multilingual features

Universal language support with UTF-8 architecture

Zenario uses robust UTF-8 character encoding. This foundation ensures complete compatibility with all world languages, including:

• European Languages: All Latin-based scripts, Cyrillic alphabets, Greek
• Asian Languages: Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Thai, Arabic, Hebrew
• Special Characters: Mathematical symbols, currency symbols, diacritical marks
• Right-to-Left Languages: Full bidirectional text support for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian

Intelligent language detection and routing

Our advanced automatic language detection system employs multiple strategies:

Browser-based detection

When a user arrives at a multi-lingual Zenario site, the site can help them switch to the language they need:

• Automatically detects user's preferred language from browser settings
• Seamless redirection to appropriate language
• Fallback mechanisms for unsupported languages
• Manual choice for the visitor if he prefers another language.

Geographic IP-based delivery

GeoIP can be used to fine-tune what visitors can see or access:

• Geo-location detection for country-specific content delivery
• Customisable country-to-language mapping
• Regional content variations within the same language

Domain-based language management

Zenario supports:

• Subdomain language routing (en.example.com, fr.example.com)
• Top-level domain language assignment (.com, .fr, .de)
• Path-based language switching (/en/, /fr/, /de/)

Visual language selection

• Customisable language picker widgets
• Flag-based country selectors
• Dropdown language menus with native language names

Advanced multilingual architecture

Modular language pack system

• Pre-built language packs: 50+ ready-to-use language configurations
• Custom language pack creation: Tools for creating specialised language variants
• Regional variations: Support for locale-specific content (US English vs. UK English)

SEO-optimised multilingual structure

• Hreflang implementation: Automatic generation of hreflang tags
• Language-specific URLs: Clean, SEO-friendly URL structures
• Multilingual sitemaps: Comprehensive XML sitemaps for all language versions
• Canonical URL management: Prevents duplicate content penalties

Content management efficiency

In Zenario, all images and other media (videos, audio files) are stored in a central library and can be re-used across the site's various languages.

When pages contain plugins, such as managed images with call-out messages, the same plugin can be used across the different pages of a translation chain, with the messages being stored in a central "phrases" area and the appropriate translation being shown according to the context.
