Hi folks,
I'm working on a multilingual CMS. Therefore I need to give the site visitor the option to change the content language using a language switcher menu link. My question is about changing content language not about changing surface language (please no T function answers here :-) So far I did the following: I created a routes.py file inside the web2py directory with the following content: routers = dict( BASE = dict(default_application='myapp'), myapp = dict(languages=['en', 'it', 'fr', 'de'], default_language='en'), ) I found an older post dealing with this topic (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/web2py/q2B9mekNCwk/Kn-uxao1aIMJ) and followed this advice: URL() by default produces absolute scheme-less URLs, like this /a/c/f. > so to link from http://site.com/en/a/c/f to http://site.com/fr/a/c/f, > you prepend URL() call with '/fr', like this: > <a href="/fr{{=URL(a=request.application, c=request.controller, > f=request.function, ...)}}">French</a> This works - but only once. The first time I click the link the 'fr' is prepended and the request.uri_language is changed accordingly. But on the second click on a language link another language token is prepended to the URI which breaks the app. (URL after second click reads like this: domain.com/app/en/fr/controller/function) By the way: It only works on the first click because initially there is no language token in the URI. But this means there would be pages that can be reached with and without language token which will lead to Google duplicate content problems. So I will have to find a solution that addresses this issue too. Any help appreciated! -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
