I18N language in URL index page problem

[ChriS]

Nope just an issue with your .htacess rewrite rules I think ...

Very thank you yurifanboy, I'm to bad in RewriteCode to do something like this by myself. Both of your solutions work for me, however I qouted out the "redirect to language of your choice" because it is an unwanted behaviour and use now the first one:

Code:

# RewriteRule ^/?$ de/ [R,L]   # redirect to language of your choice. Quote out if undesired.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(en|de|it)/(.*?/)?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$3&lang=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(en|de|it)/?$ index.php?lang=$1 [QSA,L]   # handle index page without 'index'
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

What's even better: if you enter a URL without language code, it shows the browsers best fitting language. So you can use this perfectly in Signatures, letters, etc. for multilanguage users: for example "mydomain.info/vacations/" shows the page normally under ".../de/vacations/" or ".../it/vacations/" or ".../en/vacations/" in my case. When the user clicks on the navigation menu it continues in the chosen language. Very nice.
So I have to rethink about my wish to build different (freely) URLs for every language. Every solution has advantages and disadvantages (see my post under "Support for multilanguage sites, Internationalization (I18N)").
