How to develop multilingual website in Umbraco?

Question

Hi I have developed one website using Umbraco. I have developed website in English. I want to make my website as multilingual. I am looking for the approaches to implement multilingual website. As i am using first time i have several questions running in my mind. I am trying to figure out below points.

1. Like sharepoint, has umbraco automatically transfer pages to other languages?
2. Should i create two root nodes(one with English and one with arabic).
3. If i use Angularjs i can use json files(with key/value pair) to convert to any other language.

May I get some useful tips on the above points? Thanks. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

1. Like sharepoint, has umbraco automatically transfer pages to other languages?

Nope, there's no automatic translating in Umbraco.

2. Should i create two root nodes(one with English and one with arabic).

This is one well known approach.

3. If i use Angularjs i can use json files(with key/value pair) to convert to any other language.

This could work. You could look into the Dictionary service which is built into Umbraco. Some of this topic is covered on Umbraco 7 Working with languages/Dictionary.
