Multilingual Switcher (English ver) @ 7bit

This document is a translation of original Japanese document. I am afraid of so much grammatical errors included below. If you could, I would be glad to have pointing out of those or the unclear meanings. (Gmail: uglydog.7bit)

notice

The recent version of Multilingual Switcher 2.00 is quite different from 1.10. The instruction below is obsolete for it. Please read comments in multilingual-router.php.

I am rather busy to translate the Japanese instruction above. Please wait for a while...

Introduction

Multilingual Listing provides two ways for the visitors to jump to alternative language page.

The first method works automatically. The plugin Multilingual Router looks up Accept-Language request header from the browser, and try to find the document in specified language.

The second way is more manual. If the document supports another language, Multilingual Listing snippet (it may be placed in a template or so) list up links to the available alternative language page. This function contradicts to the first one, so if the visitior came from same but written in alternative language document, Multilingual Router does nothing (and he/she will see the actual document as the URL).

Identical document in another languages are recoginzed by the alias. For example, 'doc', 'doc-fr', 'doc-ja', are regarded as the same ones.

Here is a sample case below. (en(English) as the default language)

Accept-Language	Referer	URL(alias)	The Document to be shown
ja,en	doc-ja	doc	doc
	doc-ja	doc-ja	doc-ja
	doc	doc	doc
	doc	doc-ja	doc-ja
	other, or no referer	doc, doc-ja	doc-ja

Required Envirionment

Friendly URL: ON
Alias Path: OFF (no experience on alias path:ON)

How to Use

Please write site-global inclusive available languages in $available_lang (Snippet, Router). the first one ($available_lang[0]) will be regarded as the default.

The default setting below is for English, French, Japanese.


$available_lang = array('en', 'fr', 'ja');
$available_lang_name = array('English', 'François', '日本語');

Create Multilingual Router plugin and check to "OnWebPageInit" Event.

Write


[[MultilingualListing]]

at where you would like to show the language switching list.

At here, the snippet searches

some-document (English)
some-document-fr (French)
some-document-ja (Japanese)

and the found ones are constructed to a list. (if you don't want to show links when there are no alternative languages, set &nothingIfMono as `1`.)

You might notice that the English document has no prefix. This is because the default language ($available_lang[0]) is 'en'.
