??? - the xposign site is actually using a single tree concept.
Both domains xposign.com and xposign.de are pointing to exactly the same
startpage using the same pagetree with translations on the same page.
The links are created using TSFE:id to keep the user on exactly this same
page while switching from English to German or vice versa.
The condition is used to set the language based on the domainname instead of
&L=123 which is IMHO the better solution if you got two different domains or
subdomains available.
&L=123 is just a workaround if you haven't got any other domain available
but it is not mandatory.
You could call it &language=123, &myParameter=123 or even remove it
completely.
The only thing you have to do is to create a condition based on your
preferred indicator to set sys_language_uid, language, locale_all and maybe
some strftime and other translation settings.
These are the mandatory parts.
