  1. When I get in contact with processwire after a recommendation of a friend the first step after installing was a look in the database. Why? I had bad experiences with a shop-system I used, which ended up in digging and modification of the source code to make it work properly. Finally the biggest problem was the database with its questionable structure and data redundancy. I said goodbye to the shop-system after. With processwire I felt immediately in love because of its super slim and clear structured database without redundance of course from which results a lot of opportunities to grow. But since I use multilanguage support in processwire it makes me a little gripes when I see the way of Language Implementation in the database. About the conventional structure as an example: users are stored in pages and passwords are stored fields 'field_pass' which refers to the page (perfect) Structural changes since multilanguage support: pages and fields either have data (information about language) stored in column titles like 'name1007' or 'data1007' (not really perfect) What happened while making processwire multilingual? The tablefield in the database 'name' in table 'pages' wasn't unique anymore. 'name' from now on would have to be a field 'field_name' like 'field_titel' with its own databasetable. Same to status. The status of a page should be stored in 'field_status'. Possible solution: There exists already a field 'field_language' which stores the language of the page 'user'. This field could store easily the language of every page. Every page in every language should have its own database entry and unique id, even the rootpage with parent_id '0' should have this. All name and status columns should be outsourced to fields. Language relevant columns like 'data1007' in fields are obsolete. As a result every field becomes multilingual automatically, because it references to a unique site. I know that many people Ryan first of all have spent a lot of time and work to make this great system available. And I have a lot of respect before this people. I am happy to use processwire and I love it. But since I run in problems when I decided to switch an alternative language to the default language burrowing around in the database I started to think about some facts. I am pretty sure processwire will run in problems following the pursued way. On the way making processwire to the worlds best CMS the database as the heart of the system should be young, healthy and proper.
