This has been discussed at length a few times already on the list and there's no easy answer that satisfies everyone. It really depends on yous situation.

If you just have a simple site like this and you want to be able to link to the same page in a different language you get set you related items to the same page in the different language branches, eg related items for english > about us would be:

        french > about us
        german > about us

At the top of the page you could display the links to "This page in German" and "This page in French" would actually be your related links (you might need to add some logic to work out which is the french and which is the german one of course)>

This is a very basic site though. If it gets more complex and more localised you'll probably find each language tree is different and you won't be able to have the same page in all languages.

Hope that helps.

sorry :(

The approach I gave is just name matching -- if I am in a node and a child
node name matches a cookie value name, then push the user there.  Since the
top object under any node is the default page then the user is delivered
that content.  Yes, this should use a tech note.  If Daemon thinks it would
be a good addition, I could work on one.  I would probably make this a
global app so the routing can be user defined.

It does and it doesn't :-)   Is this also for full object data?  I reckon
this is worth a tech-note... ;-)

LOL

I guess a quick and dirty would be something like the following code.

This


could be saved as a little app in the inclObj folder and then added to

each


node that needs routing. Alternatively, the code could be beefed up to

run


at the app level and route people. I typed this up in notepad, so pardon any typos or a missing expression -- take it for its essence :-).


_languageRoute.cfm


<cfif structkeyexists(form,"process") OR structkeyexists(cookie,"mylanguage")>

<!--- If the form was submitted for the first time, set the cookie. once set redirect below. If the cookie is set, just redirect. --->

<cfif structkeyexists(form,"myLanguage")>
<cfcookie name="myLanguage" value="#form.myLanguage#" expires="NEVER"> </cfif>


<!--- see if there is a child node that matches the cookie/form name and

if


so redirect them ---> <cfscript> o = createObject("component", "#application.packagepath#.farcry.tree");
qChildNodes = o.getChildren(objectid=request.navid, depth=1); </cfscript> <cfquery name="qLanguage" dbtype="query"> SELECT objectID, objectName FROM qChildNodes WHERE
1=1
AND objectName = '#cookie.myLanguage#'
</cfquery>
<cflocation url="/index.cfm?objectid=#qLanguage.objectID#" addtoken="No">



<cfelse>
<!--- form to route user --->
<form action="" method="post" name="myLanguage" id="myLanguage"> <select name="myLanguage"> <option value="">Please Select Language</option>

<option


value="french">french</option> <option value="german">german</option>

</select>
<input type="submit" name="process" value="go" class="btnGo"> </form>

</cfif>


I would do something like this.

-------> inclObj: _languageRoute.cfm > -English > --About > --Contact > -French > --About > --Contact > -German > --About > --Contact


Hope this sheds some light.

Hey,

From the feature list on the website, it mentions that to create a

separate


not for new multilingual content? Is this what you mean?

-Home
--About
--Contact
-English
--About
--Contact
-French
--About
--Contact
-German
--About
--Contact

Etc...

How would you switch through these content selections when in a FarCry

site?


Is this worth a quicktip or How-To? Any info on this subject would be

good


:-)
