Displaying Two Different Languages Content in Same Drupal Multilingual Site

We're building a Drupal 7 website that has Multilingual content for a dozen different languages. This has been pretty straight-forward to implement.

We have run into a weird scenario though, so any insight is much appreciated:

English is the default language. Another "language" option is Australia which should also display English content. In addition to displaying English content, there is also content that is unique to the Australian version of the site that should be displayed. For example:

Australian Website

  • Home (English)
  • About (English)
  • Products (English)
    • Product One (English)
    • Product Two (Australian)
    • Product Three (English)
  • Resources (English)
  • Contact (Australian)

Is there a way with the i18n module in Drupal to have a certain "language" (Australian) display content for multiple languages - English and Australian?

Happy to provide any additional details. Any direction is appreciated.

Thanks!

The definition of multi lingual site is basically having 2 sites under one domain. One set of pages is on one language, other on other language. Then you pair one language page with other language page so the language switcher would know what page to open when you change the language.

But, from I saw in your question your site is not like that. You have 2 languages under the same "language domain". You have pages in different language in the same menu and no language switcher. If I guessed well I would say that you don't see multi lingual site at all. Just keep it in one language, speaking from technical point of view and enter the content in the language you want. The language of content it self is totally irrelevant if you site acts like it's single language one - all pages in all languages under the same menus, no menu switcher and so on...
