Multilanguage URL
Автор: John S.Hello INCOMEDIA
It would be very nice to have a new action type in the LINK. It should be similar to "file or URL" action.
It should function so :
You have eg. three languages - Danish ( in the root ) - French ( in fr subdirectory ) and english ( in gb subdirectory ). In the topbanner in the Danish, the French and the English version, You have three flags.
In the French version :
To the Danish flag You create a multilanguage link : http://www.bramminginfo.dk/
To the English flag You create a multilanguage link : http://www.bramminginfo.dk/gb
And to the French flag You create no link.
In the Danish version :
To the Danish flag You create no link
To the English flag You create a multilanguage link : http://www.bramminginfo.dk/gb
And to the French flag You create a multilanguage link : http://www.bramminginfo.dk/fr
Same procedure for the English version.
Then when You are on the Danish version page 4 and clicks the french version The URL are constructed by the system as : The URL given in : http://www.bramminginfo.dk/fr + the actual site You are on (Page 4 ) and the whole URL used is : http://www.bramminginfo.dk/fr/page-4.html
It should be so, that if the page URL constructed by the system does not exist ( the page is not made in the language ) then the URL without pageextension is used.
If the user wants the URL to always be to the language-homepage the existing "file or URL" action can be used.
In this way You only specify the URL once for each language, and the system (website X5 ) does the job for You. Else You have to put a lot of work in doing this manually - and why do that - it's what we have software for. Then Website X5 will really have a multilanguage function.
