Multiple Languages

[happydg]

If i add:

Code: Select all

if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 'fr')) {
  $lang = $my_keywords['fr'];
} elseif (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 'de')) {
  $lang = $my_keywords['de'];
} else $lang = $my_keywords['en'];

if ($_GET['force_lng'] and isset($my_keywords[$_GET['force_lng']])) {
  setcookie('force_lng', $_GET['set_lng'], time() + 86400);
  $lang = $my_keywords['en'];
} elseif ($_COOKIE['force_lng'] and isset($my_keywords[$_COOKIE['force_lng']])){
  $lang = $my_keywords[$_COOKIE['force_lng']];
}

http://www.domain.com/ will be in french but http://www.domain.com/fr/ or http://www.domain.com/de/ will be in english

Try it w\o rewrites to see where the error it.

As you can see the entire code in in your hands: short language template and a few lines in .htaccess
it should be easy.

About traffic rules let' say i want to redirect to fr language. I go to Traffic Rules - Incoming:

Select Language
Contains this value: FR

About Redirect to This URL: I can't put this url ( like in multilingual settings ) http://{DOMAIN}/{LANGUAGE}/{ORIGINAL_REQUEST}

Because i don't want to create a redirect for each groups, sponsors etc... This would be thousands of pages to add in traffic rules.

You only need to redirect "root" requests as all other requests are gonna be handled by category redirects (If I understand the issue correctly)

I found the code for those who wants it:

Code: Select all

if ($_GET['force_lng'] and isset($my_keywords[$_GET['force_lng']])) {
  $lang = $my_keywords[$_GET['force_lng']];
} else $lang = $my_keywords['en'];

Now i have a last problem: without traffic rules http://www.domain.com/fr/ is working

If i add Traffic Rules - Incoming:

If this field: HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE
Contains this value: fr
Redirect to This URL: http://www.domain.com/fr/

When i go to http://www.domain.com/ it redirects to http://www.domain.com/fr/ which is good.

But http://www.domain.com/fr/ doesn't work anymore. A firefox error says: the page isn't redirected correctly.

Can you show http headers plz ?

I sent them to you via pm.

Yes, you are right. There's an issue with incoming redirects in this case caz this URL this triggers the same index.php which redirects to the same url.

Basically you need a bit more complex redirect rule then what you can setup in traffic rules
Luckily you can do that in common.php

here's an example

Code: Select all

if (!strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 'yourdomain.com') and !$_GET['force_lng']) {

	if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 'fr')) {
		header('Location: http://your_domain/fr/');
		exit;
	} elseif (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 'de')) {
		header('Location: http://your_domain/de/');
		exit;
	}

}

It works but the problem is it redirects http://www.domain.com/category/lesbian/ to http://www.domain.com/fr/ instead of http://www.domain.com/fr/category/lesbian/

I tried to modify common.php a bit:

Code: Select all

Location: http://www.domain.com/fr<?php $str = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; $str2 = substr($str, 3); echo $str2; ?>

But this doesn't work fine.

[admin]

That's because you have

RewriteRule ^([^/]{2})/(.*)$ $2?force_lng=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]


You should have URLs like

http://www.domain.com/fr/category/lesbian/

to avoid that redirect.
