    Multilingual 404 pages are not working. Umbraco goes to default only.

    Hi All,

    I have a multilingual website (English and French) with the root nodes being /content/EN and /content/FR.  The hostnames for each node are set to localhost/EN (Eng - US) and localhost/FR (French - Canada).  The site seems to grab the current culture correctly, but for some reason the FR 404 page is not working.

    /config/umbracoSettings.config

        <errors>
          
          <error404>        
            <errorPage culture="default">1131</errorPage>
            <errorPage culture="en-US">1131</errorPage>
            <errorPage culture="fr-CA">1132</errorPage>              
          </error404>

        </errors>

    The site only seems to go with the default error page.  I've found other people who have had the same problem in other forums but no answer, so I thought I'd post it here.

    Have I missed something obvious?

    Thanks,

    Jay

    Although I'd prefer not to do a workaround I ended up going with a custom 404 handler with Umbraco:

    http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/how-to-implement-your-own-404-handler

    Instead of using the server variable I used the passed-in url variable and checked if url.ToLower().StartsWith("fr/") and then set the ID to that of the FR 404 node.  Else I set it to the EN node's ID.  This way if the user requests something outside of /en or /fr then they're forwarded to the EN 404 page still.
