[rz] Multi-Language Site v1.2

This extension allows you to make multilingual sites with ease.
You can switch to the parallel page in just one click!
Sample projects included.

HTML 4.01 Transitional
W3C compliant

DEMO

* New in version 1.2

- Improved the language redirection module to better control the optional preload method before redirection.
- Debug mode option in the redirecter modules.
- New extension: [rz] MultiLang (country-redirect); allows to redirect the initial page (usually index) to another one based on the visitor's country.

- More efficient core for the language redirector and selector modules.
- Improved images handling for iOS-based devices.
- Improved code for the optional centralized handling.
- Improved HTML4/5 conformation.
- Moved the selector core to an external library file for faster browsing.

* New in version 1.1

- Optional extension core: Now [rz] MultiLang (lng-core) is optional and with it you setup the common behavior for all the multilanguage instances.
- Improved code: Compatibility with [rz] Preloaded Links (both normal and lite versions).
- Improved [rz] MultiLang (lng-redirect) extension: Optionally, it can redirect when the target page is fully loaded.
- More 3D push effects.
- Push image.
- Images for "onhover" and "onpush" events are optional.
- Full functional three sample projects included.

* New extension in 1.0.2

[rz] MultiLang (lng-redirect): This extension allows to redirect the initial page (usually index) to another one based on the browser's default language (according to the user's settings).

How to use?

1. Open a [new] project.
2. Add a new page, i.e: "language_selector".
3. Draw and grop the "[rz] MultiLang (lng-core)" extension.
4. Open its properties dialog and tell the extension what method you will use:

folders:

you will have a folder for each language, so, your site structure will look something like this:

- myproject
- index
language_selector (to be used as masterpage)
- english (folder)
- page1
- page2
- spanish (folder)
- page1
- page2

prefix:

instead of using folders for each language, you can have a page prefix:

- myproject
- index
language_selector (to be used as masterpage)
- eng-page1
- esp-page1
- eng-page2
- esp-page2

5. For each language you will support on your site, add the "[rz] MultiLang (lng-selector)" extension.
6. Open its properties dialog and tell the extension just a few things like the language, flag, etc...
7. In each page, just drag and drop the language_selector masterpage, and now you have your site fully synchronized!

As you can see, there is only one rule:
All your pages will have the same names for each supported language, that's all.
Just choose the method: folders or prefixes.
Now, lets say you are in page2, when you click on the icon (may be a flag), you will be redirected to the "same" page2 written in the language you clicked on.

* [rz] MultiLang (lng-redirect)

How to use?

1. Just drag and drop this extension to the index page (this means the initial page) and set its parameters.
2. The default language page means the page to be launched in case the user's system has a language set-up that your website doesn't support, in other words, you didn't write/add these pages in this language yet.
3. After that, you enter the two letters that represent the language you support in your website and the page to redirect to (this means if the browser's language matches with one of the languages you support in your site).

* [rz] MultiLang (country-redirect)

How to use?

1. Just drag and drop this extension to the index page (this means the initial page) and set its parameters.
2. The default country page means the page to be launched in case the website doesn't have a contry-specific page yet.
3. After that, you enter the two letters that represent the country you want to support in your website and the page to redirect to.

Notes:

- A comprehensive two-letter-language-code list is available here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_language_codes.asp
- A comprehensive two-letter-country-code list is available here: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_country_codes.asp
- The country redirecter module is distributed in an "as-is" basis; the 3rd party service may be interrupted and may take time to find and support an alternative service.

Enjoy your multilingual site!

[RZ], did you consider to add a language discoverer, which directly switch to the right page(s)?

what do you mean?

iVent · Post by **iVent** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 1:37 pm

[RZ], I mean a browser language checker (like a screen checker) and based up on the discovered language switch the visitor to the different pages. So automaticly let them jump to the right language page.

[RZ] · Post by **[RZ]** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 1:46 pm

understood.
this is what i use in my sites.
later next week i will try to make an extension based on the browser's settings.
thank you for your suggestion.

iVent · Post by **iVent** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:03 pm

Whow, one post two times published! Don't know why, but okay.

[RZ] Thanks, that would be great.

[RZ] · Post by **[RZ]** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 8:13 am

nobody reported any issues with this extension.
also i'm using it in my sites and i have no problem.
if i don't see what you did, it is very difficult for me to help you.
please post your project to see what you may did wrong.

anyhow, take in count that the index is used as a "redirecter".
the index page detect the default language settings and redirects to the proper "main" page based on these settings (*). please read very carefully the attached instructions file, re-read the first post and take a deeper look at the included sample project file (it is really simple).

EDIT:

(*) with the current extension version, you will need to do it by yourself, or do it as in the sample project file. but... an add-on will soon be added to automatically do it!!

[RZ] · Post by **[RZ]** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 9:35 am

i see that you forgot to include the language selector in your index page; anyhow: please read the attached instruction file and the sample project file.
both are included in your downloaded extension zip file.

*** NEW extension ***

[rz] Multilang (redirect)

This extension allows to redirect the initial page (usually index) to the browser's default language (according to the user's settings).

How to use?

1. Just drag and drop this extension to the index page (this means the initial page) and set its parameters.
2. The default language page means the page to be launched in case the user's system has a language set-up that your website doesn't support, in other words, you didn't write/add these pages in this language yet.
3. After that, you enter the two letters that represent the language you support in your website and the page to redirect to (this means if the browser's language matches with one of the languages you support in your site).

[RZ] · Post by **[RZ]** » Sat Aug 04, 2012 6:49 pm

i didn't open a developer's account yet; this is the reason i post a download link, also with a demo when it is possible, if not, a sample project at least.
well, as far as i understand from your post is you found this extension useful, so, glad to know it.
thank you for your feedback.

iVent · Post by **iVent** » Mon Aug 06, 2012 1:39 pm

[RZ], Unfortunaly this redirect extension doesn't show off the hard work you put into it, since it operates in the background. But anyway, this is a very, very productive exctension we all can use very well in our globalising world ;-)

Thanx, iVent

[RZ] · Post by **[RZ]** » Mon Aug 06, 2012 1:49 pm

what is "operates in the background"?
what does this mean? do you have a z-index issue?

iVent · Post by **iVent** » Mon Aug 06, 2012 8:59 pm

I meant that this extension is not visible, but quietly does his job. No, I don't have any issues yet ;-) I will use it at a new website and let you know.

Greetz, iVent

[RZ] · Post by **[RZ]** » Mon Aug 06, 2012 9:36 pm

you have three extensions.
the core
the "flags"
and the initial redirecter
please take a look at the sample file included.
if you want to replace the "manual startup" in the index page, remove all of its contents and just place the redirecter instead... that's all...

eirianceri · Post by **eirianceri** » Sat Apr 27, 2013 9:12 am

Hi,
I've just found your fantastic Multilingual site. I've tried it out only on my local drive and it works very well.
Just a couple of question please.
If I prefer not to have the language selection - i.e. flags on the index page, can I just have the flags only on the language pages themselves?

For example:
Could the index page be automatically re-directed to en_page1 this would be the homepage for the English version.

..the other language Welsh could be : cy_page1 this would be the homepage for the Welsh version.

I have also managed to add a level 2 navigation. Would I need to create additional MENU pages [named MENU_services, MENU_aboutus] for different level 2 links?
What I have done, I'm not sure if I'm correct, is to create 1 master page for the INDEX [without navigation], and another MASTER PAGE for each language with the navigation menu on it, it's worked!

I look forward to any suggestions.
thank you
Eirian

hello and thank you for your feedback

in the index page you can have the redirect extension - this extension allows you to automatically redirect to the proper language based on the user's pc settings

Code: Select all

index     ) redirect extension

en-page1 \
en-page2  ) multilang extension
en-page3 /

cy-page1 \
cy-page2  ) multilang extension
cy-page3 /

if the visitor's pc lang is english then will automatically be redirected to the page1 with the proper prefix, in this case en- to the page will be en-page1

if you are in cy-page2 and you click on the english icon (usually a country flag), you will be redirected to the "partner" page, this means to the en-page2

of course, in the general category you can set a default language redirection, this means, if the visitor's pc has a language that is not covered in your website, you can have a predefined language for that case, usually english or the local language where your company is located

Hi, Many thanks for your quick reply.
I have used the re-direct extension as you suggested - thanks very much. The website is not yet live - but nearly there!
thanks once again

thanks for your feedback
so i assume that now the idea is working fine for you

the link is working fine

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Sun Sep 08, 2013 1:37 am

@[RZ] Ok not hijacking your post but I have tested the link and it is working for me with no issues..

@HansInChina it may be an issue with your IP they may not allow downloads from mediafire. You may wish to contact them and ask them this. As you can see my reply to [RZ] I do not have any issues with the download. You may also want to try another browser or PC I would also try clearing your browser cache as well.

[RZ] · Post by **[RZ]** » Sun Sep 08, 2013 1:43 am

@bf
no problems!
your post clears up the things
as you, i didn't find issues...

[RZ] · Post by **[RZ]** » Sun Dec 15, 2013 1:12 am

you must follow the two possible structures as stated in the instructions file.
this version does not support subdirectories.
the same issue you may run when you use masterpages (now called masterobjects) when they are embedded from different folders structures.

longman · Post by **longman** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 7:48 am

i wish to know if this extension also automatically adds necessary hreflang code on the pages (or all new pages)?

This code i mean:

<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://www.domain.com" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="ru" href="https://www.domain.com" />
and so on

Or its something we gotta do manually?

[RZ] · Post by **[RZ]** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 9:37 am

currently you need to add these entries manually

Thanks for the reply. I posted something alternative here, which i used to do in my other web design software viewtopic.php?f=5&t=81211&p=406666#p406666 maybe you can use the idea in case you'd want to update your extension to do it.

Is there a demo of the auto method?

[RZ] · Post by **[RZ]** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 8:23 pm

it is a matter of drag and drop an extension in the initial page
then, instead of seeing what you see in the demo, the visitor is redirected to the matching language page (according to what you have in your website and the user preferences/settings of the browser visitor)
this demo was done this way just to see more explicitly what is going to happen...

ART · Post by **ART** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 8:29 pm

I have an older version of this extension which also works like that. Is this an update?

[RZ] · Post by **[RZ]** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 8:31 pm

has been upgraded for better performance and now it also has the automatic (optional) process
just take a look at the initial post to read the changelog

ART · Post by **ART** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 8:44 pm

i already have the automatic installed with a possibility to select a language oneself in the menu. Is it possible to have them both on the same website. I.e automatic but with a possible to have visitors select another language.

[RZ] · Post by **[RZ]** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 8:49 pm

of course!
the redirector should be placed in the initial page
the language selector can be placed (as a masterobjects) in each page of your site
just note there are a lot of improvements since the initial versions

ART · Post by **ART** » Wed Jan 22, 2020 9:04 pm

Ok then i think i will give it a try together with a couple of other interesting extension of yours. One question still is how it works with upgrades. Are they included or .?
