Assign different language to a directory

Permalink
Hi

Not sure if the paid Internationalization add-on does this but a great feature to have in C5 would be to assign a base language depending on the directory.

So main site is in English but if I had an /fr directory I could tell C5 to display in French.

is this possible?

Cheers

Well - the free internationalization add-on will allow you to specify language specific content sections under pages called fr etc.. However, it doesn't as far as I am aware provide any language detection to switch the locale. For the most part, this isn't an issue, because you will need to provide your own content in the correct language for the pages under fr. But strings in packages and blocks would not be translated without switching the locale.

I need to test this actually... The locale really needs to switch to the content section you are in... I'm sure this could be achieved in the internationalization add-on.

Hi Jon

Yeah we realise we need to translate the content but if it could auto translate the base blocks displayed on the page this would make life easier.

Will look into it further.
