[rz] Multi-language Sites with ease *** UPD 2017-Jan-19 ***

[eirianceri]

Hi,
I've just found your fantastic Multilingual site. I've tried it out only on my local drive and it works very well.
Just a couple of question please.
If I prefer not to have the language selection - i.e. flags on the index page, can I just have the flags only on the language pages themselves?

For example:
Could the index page be automatically re-directed to en_page1 this would be the homepage for the English version.

..the other language Welsh could be : cy_page1 this would be the homepage for the Welsh version.

I have also managed to add a level 2 navigation. Would I need to create additional MENU pages [named MENU_services, MENU_aboutus] for different level 2 links?
What I have done, I'm not sure if I'm correct, is to create 1 master page for the INDEX [without navigation], and another MASTER PAGE for each language with the navigation menu on it, it's worked!

I look forward to any suggestions.
thank you
Eirian

hello and thank you for your feedback

in the index page you can have the redirect extension - this extension allows you to automatically redirect to the proper language based on the user's pc settings

Code: Select all

index     ) redirect extension

en-page1 \
en-page2  ) multilang extension
en-page3 /

cy-page1 \
cy-page2  ) multilang extension
cy-page3 /

if the visitor's pc lang is english then will automatically be redirected to the page1 with the proper prefix, in this case en- to the page will be en-page1

if you are in cy-page2 and you click on the english icon (usually a country flag), you will be redirected to the "partner" page, this means to the en-page2

of course, in the general category you can set a default language redirection, this means, if the visitor's pc has a language that is not covered in your website, you can have a predefined language for that case, usually english or the local language where your company is located

Hi, Many thanks for your quick reply.

@[RZ] Ok not hijacking your post but I have tested the link and it is working for me with no issues..

@HansInChina it may be an issue with your IP they may not allow downloads from mediafire. You may wish to contact them and ask them this. As you can see my reply to [RZ] I do not have any issues with the download. You may also want to try another browser or PC I would also try clearing your browser cache as well.

@bf

as you, i didn't find issues...

I implemented this in my web site and it is working very well for all sites on the root Level.
But If i use a sub directory lower the the base language directory it create a file not found error.

I have debug the created code with my browser it it looks like that the code not support subdirectorys. Could it be?

Here the example:

Code: Select all

/root
german
 subdirectory
   page01.html
english
  subdirectory
    page01.html

you must follow the two possible structures as stated in the instructions file.
this version does not support subdirectories.
the same issue you may run when you use masterpages (now called masterobjects) when they are embedded from different folders structures.

[fluenens]

Thank you for this information. I have now found now a solution that is working with my website.
I have removed the Multi lang core modul and replaced with my HTML code.

This code is placed as a master-object in my master page. This code works only for a folder structure.

This is my first JavaScript so it could be that I must update it later

Code: Select all

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
function changeTo(lang)
{
    var myHref = document.location.href;
    var myCurrPathname = document.location.pathname;
    var re = new RegExp("\/.+?\/","g");
    var myNewPathname = myCurrPathname.replace(re,"/" +lang+ "/");
    this.document.location.href  = myHref.replace(myCurrPathname,myNewPathname);
  
}
</SCRIPT>

Hi, I wanted to download your extension "Multilingual sites" but I am getting the message on Mediafire that the file is currently set to privat.
Does that means that the extension is not available anymore ??
Regards Derk

Edit: Sorry....forget the above. I did see your site and understand your policy.

Hello,
Where can I find the Extension Multi-language Site? Is it already in WWB ? Or do I need to download it from a website?

I have re-read the posts several times but could find a clue.

Henk
