Hello All,
I will be using Multiple Site Manager to develop a website that can be view in both English and Spanish. My intent is to have a button the allow navigators to click Spanish when on the English site, which would direct them to the Spanish site and vice versa.

My English site will rest on: http://www.mydomain.com
My Spanish site will rest on: http://www.mydomain.com/es/

My English site URLs will all be written in English, while my Spanish site will be written in Spanish. What I want to do is find a way to match the URLs, so when someone clicks to view a given page in English or Spanish they are redirected accordingly.

For example, I want to redirect
http://www.mydomain.com/contact

to
 
http://www.mydomain.com/es/contacto

Any thoughts, is this something I can do within in my htaccess?

Thanks in advance!

You could probably use something like Playa, or even just a custom field to link the two language versions of each article together.

The put the link into a language switcher in your template.

I’ve working with using Playa, but I am experiencing issues grabbing the page url from the Spanish site into the English site’s button.

The custom field might be the way to go for now. Any additional thoughts?
