[TYPO3] Multi-Language Newsletter

[Patrick Broens]

Hi Felix,

If you don't use the categories for your newsletters, you can use these 
to register users to a certain language. We do this with our 
newsletters. On the Direct mail subscription page we have in each 
language a hidden field with the category, for instance English is 
category 1, dutch is 2, french is 3 and spanish is 4. Visitors don't 
have to choose the language. They have entered the subscription page by 
selecting a certain language, so that's the language of the newsletters 
we sent to the subscribers.

The page in which the newsletter is designed is only in one language, 
and we add all content of all languages in this page. In the Direct Mail 
module you can select which content element belongs to which 
language/category.

It perfectly sends out newsletters in different languages.
