Should I use a Module instance or simply a Position in Gantry admin layout ?
I’m not sure what to use and the possibility of the 2 ?

Lets say you've used two language modules, "languagemodule1" with an ID# of 100 and "languagemodule2" with an ID# of 101 and BOTH have to be assigned to the "top-b" Outline layout position. On one Outline-A that is assigned to a specific set of menu pages, you've also set "languagemodule1" assigned to those menu pages.
On another Outline-B that is assigned to a specific set of menu pages, you've also set "languagemodule2" assigned to those menu pages.
So everything is working good.
Now the problem! You also need for Outline-B in the "footer-b" layout position to have your "languagemodule1" module assigned there. So you you Drag & Drop a module position particle to the Footer Section and use the assigned module position of "top-b".
OOPS!!! For this Outline-B the module position "top-b" is defined as using "languagemodule2".
Solution: Instead Drag & Drop a module Instance particle to the Footer Section and assign it the Module ID# of 101.
Now it all works

Yep, I finally go with a module instance in each language Outline pointing to the right module, I find it easier. I see the difference now
Thanks Dan
