Idea: Multilinguality

[sixtyseven]

While dealing with my customers language files, I came up with a nice Idea for having a language switch between the provided english language and my newly created german language (which I could provide here, when it's finished and you want me to):

Look for

if (! isset($_SESSION['LANG']))
 {
  require_once VSHARE_DIR . '/include/class.language.php';
  language::cookie();
 } 

and change it to

if(!isset($_GET['lang'])){
 if (! isset($_SESSION['LANG']))
 {
  require_once VSHARE_DIR . '/include/class.language.php';
  language::cookie();
 }
} else {
 require_once VSHARE_DIR . '/include/class.language.php';
 language::validate($_GET['lang']);
} 

All you need now is a link to your actual page with the addition of ?lang=nameyourfolderhere
Seems it works for me ...

Forget the above, there is a much more conveniant way to do it. Simply add the following to your .htaccess file:

RewriteRule ^lang/(.*)/ language.php?lang=$1 [L,QSA]

after that you can change language by using the following stucture:

<a href=www.yoursite.com/lang/nameyourfolderhere/>name of your language</a>

Seems I am getting deeper into it ;-)
