Support for multilanguage sites, Internationalization (I18N)

[mvlcek]

I switch the language using a setlanguage link that points to the homepage, so /?setlanguage=de in this case. The settings I am using on my 2 menu's are in my previous post.

(it should rather be ?setlang=de - but see below)

However instead of just showing the actually existing pages in German, it shows the german pages PLUS the default Dutch ones that aren't available in German.

Subsequently clicking on a German page WILL then show only the actually available German pages but I cannot seem to make the language switch point to the just-german pages.

Do you include the language in the URL? like /de/slug?

If you use fancy URLs with %language% or %nondefaultlanguage%, setlang won't have an effect, as you have to use a specific language URL instead, i.e. a link /nl/slug?setlang=de would be translated by your .htaccess to /index.php?id=slug&lang=nl&setlang=de, which will show the dutch page and dutch navigation (but maybe with german menu texts?)

Just use the following link instead:

Code:

<a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(return_i18n_setlang_url('de')); ?>">deutsch</a>

which translates to /de/slug (or similar depending on your fancy URL setting).
