Hi Javier

It's possible to do it like that. But I think it depends on the context - it's not something that will work out of the box.

But it's possible to set a uiculture attribute and a culture attribute in the web.config if I'm not mistaken. Could this be what you were thinking about?

/Jan

I dont know, because i think that was the simple way. Just put the parameter (who knos which one), and see like all my page variables linked to dictionary changes. I have multiple domains for my website, so i use the structure:

>ROOT
-------ES
-----------page1
-----------page2
-------EN
-----------page1
-----------page2
-------FR
-----------page1
-----------page2
-------PT
-----------page1
-----------page2

Now i need to add a special part on my web site like this:

>ROOT
-------ES
-----------page1
-----------page2
-------EN
-----------page1
-----------page2
-------FR
-----------page1
-----------page2
-------PT
-----------page1
-----------page2
-------PRIVATE ZONE
-----------page3
-----------page4
-----------page5
-----------...

And the new "private zone" must be translated into the 4 languages. The problem is make the new section with translations "on the fly", the easiest way (i think) is to change the language/culture depending where i come from.

for example if i'm on ES(spanish) pages and go to private zone, i must show private zone in spanish.

By the way, all current main nodes ES / FR / EN / PT are with a hostname or with a language selected.

Thanks for you help Jan

Hi Javier

Hmm...perhaps you have been using the requestservervariables to get the language returned? http://www.w3schools.com/asp/coll_servervariables.asp

/Jan

no, never :( . i'm thinking that I only used the hostnames to view different language version, and so which is the way to know and to change the actual language/culture page from a xslt?? I think that a xslt will be the only way to do that, isn't it?

thanks Jan

Go here to get session language: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/3024-Multilingual-11-site-in-Umbraco-4

Redirect based on a current language.

Note: You can retreive a list of all languages using uCompnents xslt extensions.

Hey Daniel, but will this work on 4.0.4.2? it looks great.

then, with this function i can set the language of the document:

<xsl:template match="Languages">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="Language" />
</xsl:template>

That's just going to apply the list of languages to a template.

You won't need to set the language if you redirect based on the session language.

Second half of my last post was for reference and don't think that it will work on 4.0, only 4.5+.

First link of my last post will work on t 4.0. our.umbraco.org/.../3024-Multilingual-11-site-in-Umbraco-4

Thansk Daniel, this can work perfect with some XSLT modifications for the news . I'll try it.

And how about changing the language directly while rendering XSLT macros? Because when we open this aspx, the language can't be changed. so i'll use a URL parameter cos is the easiest/fastest way for me.

uhm.... I'm sorry Daniel and Jan , but i'm a newbie with those things, i'll pay you with something :(

Daniel with your last post i see it clearer but i'm afraid watching C# code (no problem, i'll go with vb). "If i redirect based on the session language", and how i redirect based on the session language??. This is what i would do if i know how:

1- FROM A NODE WITH A HOSTNAME AND LANGUAGE
---------------------> .ASCX User Control WITH ASP.NET MEMBERSHIP LOGIN (Where i need to know
---------------------                  how to now current language, actually i dont know how)

2- .ASCX Calls "/privatesection.aspx" FOR ALL LANGUAGES when login is correct, but needs 
------------------------------------------------------------to send, or tell, or put, 
----------------------------------------------------------- the correct language to
----------------------------------------------------------- privatesection.aspx 

3- PRIVATESECTION.ASCX knows which language we need and load the translation from dictionary
------------------------------------------------------------and different document properties

I have problems in points 1,2 and 3. :( i'm very oriented with "multilingual-1:1" post, but i have a problem. BusinessLogic is lost, i can't have access to any method or umbraco fuctions where i can use "GetByCultureCode" for example. I don't know if i need more references on my code or use others like:

umbraco.settings.editLanguage and change Culture property

I'm sorry guys, but i'm only a medium vb.net developer who 4 months ago didn't know anything about CSS.

You can have a separate private section for each language either under the language nodes or under the top private section.

-- privatesection
---- es
------ page 3
------ page 4
---- en
------ page 3
------ page 4

url redirect to /privatesection/es.aspx or /privatesection/en.aspx

-- es
---- privatesection
------ page 3
------ page 4
-- en
---- privatesection
------ page 3
------ page 4

url redirect to /es/privatesection.aspx or /en/privatesection.aspx

yeah Daniel, would be great to follow same schema like the rest of the website, but there isn't a lot of subpages, and we need to unify in one node to make it easier to administrate.

where can i find a complete reference to XSLT functions to change the culture/language of the page?
