View native language websites for PARI

[jemjoseph]

As a visitor to the PARI website
I want to view the website in native languages
So that I can navigate the site in a language in which I am comfortable

Overview:
The PARI website has a huge archive of content in native Indian languages. Many of the visitors to the website might be more comfortable in native Indian languages rather than English and will find it more convenient to access the website in these languages. We are providing the option to the users to use the website in any of these chosen languages. Each of the languages will have its own version of the site, with a separate URL. The prioritized list of languages are Urdu, Marathi, Tamil and Hindi.

This story deals with displaying the static text in the native language. Loading the dynamic text from the backend will be handled in a separate story. Some examples of static text which is expected to be covered as part of this story are below:

• Header - webpage title and tagline, different menu items (Stories, Gallery
  etc) and sub menus (Things we do, Things We Make etc), any text within the menu options
  (Categories, Photos, Videos etc), the text for any links within the menu (View all categories,
  View all videos etc)
  - Footer - the text for different links (Categories, Stories on a map, Photos,
  Video, Audio, Terms and Conditions, Copyright etc), any other text in the footer ( Explore,
  Gallery, About, Connect etc)
  - Any other static text on the page.
  Some examples from a few pages (not exhaustive list) are included in the attachment.

FURTHER DISCUSSION NOTES and TASKING
Create independent Indian language websites out of existing PARI material. For example. urdu.ruralindiaonline.org will only show all available Urdu articles

Allow for certain content to remain even when the language sub-sites are used. For the rest of the website, pick the language from the URL. For certain pages pick the language specific content.
