また、クダラナイ質問ですみませんす。多国語サイトの設定の方法とは？ディレクトリの設定とかよく解かりません。また、｢マルチサイト」と｢マルチリングァル」は、違うものだと、どこかで読みましたが、具体的にどう違うのでしょうか？宜しくお願い致します。
My apologies for posting a rather dumb question... How does one set up a "multilingual site"? I don't quite understand the setup for directories. Also, I've read that "multilingual site" and "multi-site" are different, somewhere. What exactly is the difference? Thanks in advance...

You're in for some fun!
Oh boy ... Welcome to a whole heap of hurt, especially if you want one site that can display a different languange dependent on user choice/setting :)
I'll let others more qulified to give you the exact difference but basically:
multi-site: basically you have one web site for each language, each pretty much independent of thothers
multi-language: one site only that can serve up the same content in different languages
Multi-site actually has
Multi-site actually has nothing to do with languages. It's a way to run different sites from a single Drupal code base. For instance, one could run http://example.com and http://example2.com using the same Drupal instance. The reason for doing this is to simplify the task of maintaining the Drupal files. You could use this method to create sites in different languages but each site's content will be completely separate.
The recommended way to setup a multi-lingual site is using Drupal's built in language tools and the i18n module. This way has several advantages over multi-site including:
If you want to go this route I'd start by reading the Drupal handbook section on working with languages.
