[TYPO3] how to actually work with typo3?

[Sara Weale]

The main problem we have found is that using Typo3 in a multilanguage 
environment is quite challenging!

Our primary problems (and I know others have found this) are in 
developing the one-tree model where the alternative language (especially 
if it isn't one of the languages listed) takes second place over the 
default language in many basic areas such as:

Creating a standard a href link to the alternative language (has to be 
manually edited or RTE produces an error)
External link page type
Anchors
Allowing TV templates to be language dependant
(.. and many more)

To enable typo3 to be a truly customisable multilanguage application 
would be a great thing!

Yours
Sara
