    Hi,
    I read some topics and the documentation but I'm not sure about something.

    What I want to do is creating a blog with a mobile version and 2 languages.
    I would have the main blog in italian, a second version in english on a subdomain (en.blog.com) and then a mobile version on another subdomain (mobile.en.blog.oom/mobile.blog.com).

    I'm using wordpress so basically I want the italian version to share the same database with its mobile site and simply change theme. the same goes for the english version.
    Hive can do that, right?

    plus, and here I'm just asking if I'm correct, I do need 2 installation of wordpress, right? one for the italian and one for the english. I can't do all with one database, right? because the posts will be the same but duplicated in different languages and I assume I need 2 databases otherwise when, for instance, I have a query calling for the last 5 posts it will get some in italian and some in english. correct?
    Sorry, maybe it's silly stuff but I'm new at databases and wordpress. I built my own theme and I'm learning but I still have much to do.

    Thanks for any heads up on hive and the rest.
    I think hive could be what I'm looking for.

    uhm, I guess the admin is on holiday :D
    I think I may have found my solution by simply using the same database but different tables changing the table prefix in the config file of the other installations..

    If someone knows I'm wrong and that Hive is what I need to use please say something before I do a mess with stuff I don't fully know :P

    Actually, that's exactly what WP Hive does: "using the same database but different tables changing the table prefix in the config file of the other installations.."

    But instead of using multiple installations & config files, it uses just one.
