I’m trialling a English language forum - and if successful, I’d like to roll that out to more languages. My company has some 30+ domains (eg [mysite.com](http://mysite.com), [mysite.fr](http://mysite.fr), mysite.es etc etc) each of which are localised to that country.

What would be the best way of having a forum for each of these countries?

From reading here on meta - it looks like we’d have to set up a different instance for each country (eg [forum.mysite.com](http://forum.mysite.com), [forum.mysite.fr](http://forum.mysite.fr) etc).

Is there any provision for a ‘parent’ account, where we could control some of the main settings, so that we could make global changes, but were still able to localise at country level?

Or are there any other suggestions of how best to structure this?

thanks

PS: we would want each country to be using the forum on their own locale (eg a French user should see the forum on a .fr site).
