andre müller	Tuesday 19 August 2003 12:02:06 am is there a nice way to detect, which language is currently set and to dynamically set a link to switch language? thanks
Alexandre Cunha	Tuesday 19 August 2003 2:19:38 pm way to detect ? what you mean ? How to make a link on your front site do swith language ? First, read this answer from Paulo Almeida how setup a multilingual site: http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/forum/setup_design/really_i_need_help_about_ulr_alias_language_ The, you can create links to switch between languages by this way: - assuming you have settings\siteaccess\yoursite_eng\ and settings\siteaccess\yoursite_por\ for each language. - create this links: <a href="/index.php/yoursite_por/">Português</a> <a href="/index.php/yoursite_eng/">English</a> axel http://AlexandreCunha.com
andre müller	Thursday 11 September 2003 12:44:49 am thank you very much, axel. I did exactly what you said and this works. i simply thought i could have one link only. if i'm on the english site there would appear a text saying switch to german and vice versa. for this to work, i would have to be able to find out in my template what language is currently set.
Gunnstein Lye	Thursday 11 September 2003 4:50:07 am You can read the current language from the ini settings using the ezini operator. {section show=eq(ezini('RegionalSettings','Locale'),'eng-GB')} This is english {/section} It will automatically pick up ini overrides. (To read variables from other ini files than site.ini, use the file name as a third parameter to the ezini call.)
