Hey guys, my final job on my current site is trying to add multi language capability.

The steps I followed on the wiki: were straight forward enough and despite having to search around for a bit of help when the htaccess didn’t work, I now have (I believe) a working subfolder on my site: /en . If i point my browser at http://mysite.com/en/template_group/view/title, a page comes up fine.

The next step however of using en_custom_field doesn’t seem to work.
I have the feeling that the /en folder is an exact mirror image of the normal site.

For example in my embedded header template I have lang=”{country_code}” but when I view source in my /en subfolder it shows as “fr” (which is the default language)

Also, other curious things are happening - in the /en subfolder, my current dropdown menu (a navee menu) has been replaced by my old menu which is no longer in my template (!) I have literally no idea how this is happening…

Would appreciate any help thanks!

Hi onjegolders,

I am moving this thread to the Community Help forums as more appropriate.

When you copied your index.php into your new en folder make sure you update your global_vars

Thanks, just to point out that now I have managed to get the subfolders working but I’m having problems with an if statement around my navigation destroying my code.

I think I have updated my global vars so not too sure what’s causing the problems…
