    Umbraco site in multiple languages

    I'm building a site in 8 (at the moment) languages, and I'm using Umbraco. I don't want to use the domain to decide which language should be used, so I've made a structure where the main site is in English, and then I have a folder/page for each of the other languages. Below this folder/page the structure of the English site is copied.

     

    Main Site

       Page1

       Page2

       Italian

        Page1

        Page2

     

    But... how do I get to control which region the different pages are shown with?

    I've made a httpmodule that set the proper region (if the url contains /it/ it's Italian etc), but that of course get overridden later in the request by some Umbraco code. There doesn't seem to be any events for this, so is there ANY WAY of doing this without Umbraco changing it later in the request?

    Any ideas are welcome!

    Thanks in advance,

    Steen

    Hi Steen,

     

    I'd go for an alternative solution for the content tree, making the http module obsolete

    -Content
--En
---Page1
---Page2
--It
---Page1
---Page2

    Don't forget to set 

    <add key="umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath" value="false" />

    in web.config which ensures that /en or /it will be part of the url

     

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    /Dirk

    Would that solved the issue with getting the proper region/cultureinfo ??

    I'm not sure how this should be implemented though. Apart from the site in 8 languages, I have several other sites in the same Umbraco solution (to share members), but what you suggest would probably ruin that?

    With your solution to the problem, how would you trigger each language ? If not with domains/host headers, then what ?

     

    Thanks for taking your time to help me,

    Steen

    Well, I sorted this out by adding a control to the master template. On Page_Load I figure out the region based on the url, and that's that.
