Hi Will!
If you set up the i18n correctly for a site, the output of content in the
correct language should be transparent to you.
So, assuming you enable english and german, and set german as the default
language, then if the site is accessed via:
www.mysite.com/siteroot/contentpage --> contentpage will show up in German
www.mysite.com/en/siteroot/contentpage --> contentpage will show up in English
In the same way, ${content.field} will return the correct value, based on the
currently selected language.
You can find the currently selected language via
getAggregationState().getLocale()
You can find the user's preferred language via getUser().getLocale()
You can find the browser's language via getContext().getLocale()
Normally, you should not have to mess with those variables though. The only
reason I found for reading those variables was in order to create a navigation
for switching language on the public site. On the author site you can switch
language using the controls in the pagebar.
On the public site you may want to provide flag-buttons, they can link to the
current page in a different language by setting the link to something like:
${contextPath + "/en" + content.@handle}
In order to highlight the currently selected language, you can test [# if
state.locale.language=="en"] ... [/#if]
--> remember, the aggregationState contains the selected language!
Regards from Vienna,
Richie

Betreff: [magnolia-user] Freemarker i18n: Selecting the right node data to
output
Dear Magnolians
Already my next stk / freemarker question that I could not answer with the help
of the documentation...
Let's say you have a localized title stored in the node datas "title_en" and
"title_fr". What's the correct way to output the right version now? If you have
the current language somewhere (be that in the site or whatever, for now just
say in a variable "language") the best I could come up with is
${content['title_' + language]}
but I was kind of expecting to find a special Magnolia trick for this... or am
I missing something again?
Thanks
-will
