2. What is Custodian CMS
Custodian CMS is a super light weight (16 Files, 140K), content management system (CMS), licenced under GNU
LGPL by ModusInternet.com and hosted by GitHub. Designed to help developers solve all the issues related to
building and maintaining multilingual, even bidirectional (BIDI), websites.
Why Build Custodian CMS
There is simply no other freely distributed CMS’s on the web today that automatically determines visitor
language preferences, assembles available content and images for the requested language, includes custom
programming and nested templates, faster, more securely or with a smaller footprint than Custodian CMS.
(That we know of...)
Modus Internet builds multilingual websites for the public and federal government, 15 years ago there were no
options available so we had to build one.
