Support for multilanguage sites, Internationalization (I18N)
tazmandev Wrote:From the SEO point of view, must agree that default language index page should look like www.domain.com not www.domain.com/en/

I'm not sure, if from a SEO point of view this is so, as from my point of view (and for my uses) it is much more important to be user friendly then SEO friendly.
But I thought that that's what the canonical meta tag was for, too?

The "auto" language based on user preferences and session vars, is NOT Seo friendly, unfortunately.

As mentioned above - it's USER friendly.

I can include that in a future version.

It is a god practice (a must SEO practice) that on multilanguage sites, to use multilanguage slug urls.
Using slug to identify coresponding pages, makes this imposible. It would be a chalange to find a solution to this.

I know this sounds somehow "demanding" but I have noticed that you are realy preoccupied with I18N system, and the plugin is realy so perfect, that it's a pity to neglect the fancy url / slugs.

That would be another plugin for somebody else to do.
(The I18N plugin started as a small simple plugin for a relative who needed 3 languages on her site)
I18N, I18N Search, I18N Gallery, I18N Special Pages - essential plugins for multi-language sites.
