I am using the technique described here:

http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Multi_language_site_alternative/

to create a multilingual version of a website. I believe that I have everything configured properly, but for some reason, it does not appear that EE is parsing my path variable correctly.

For example, here is the code that I have set up in a directory labeled ‘es’:

<?php

// ------------------------------------------------------
// DO NOT ALTER THIS FILE UNLESS YOU HAVE A REASON TO

// ------------------------------------------------------
// Path to the directory containing your backend files

$system_path = "../cmsys/";

// ------------------------------------------------------
// MANUALLY CONFIGURABLE VARIABLES
// See user guide for more information
// ------------------------------------------------------

$template_group = "";
$template = "";
$site_url = "http://bixaldev.bixaldigitalmedia.com/es/";
$site_index = "";
$site_404 = "";
$global_vars = array(
    "country_code" => "es",
    "language" => "spanish"
); // This array must be associative

?>

In theory, when I am on a page that has a path variable link shouldn’t the ‘/es/’ be included as part of the link? It does not seem to be happening, and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Help!

make sure that the site url is set properly in the control panel.
I’d bet that it doesn’t have /es

Not sure, but I think EE looks at the settings first, then if it doesn’t find one, it looks in path.php

You are correct that the site url does not have /es but that is because the english (with nothing appended to the URL is the default).

It is very odd - I have used this technique before on another bilingual site without problems.
