[...] If you have a multi-lingual set up like my previous post on Multilingual sites in EE, then you will need to change {segment_3} for [...]

This is an example for EE1. How does this work on EE2?
Thanx and many regards,

I believe marco pointed out that one – you need to specify the /index.php as per his comment further up (I have updated the article as well).

Thanks for the encouraging comments though!

Well-written tutorial,

it worked for me, and helped a lot!

I have only some trouboe with the "redirection part" : if I use a simple .htaccess file with your code inside "Redirect 301 / http://www.mysite.it/it/" 6he browser freezes and safari warns me: "Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://www.mysite.it/it/it/it/it/it/it/it/it/it/it/it/it/it/it/it/it/”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page."

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Marco;

Thanks Carl. That technique was also developed out of ideas in the wiki article.

I agree, use what works for you. Also use what makes most sense given your situation. Horses for courses.

Oh yes, EE2 is certainly going to

Thanks Vanni – good to see my posts are useful at least.

Yes Aidann, I’ve seen that solution used/suggested somewhere before and thought it was quite a good way of doing it. and like you say, has the added benefit of creating language specific members.

As usual with anything like this – once you’ve learned how to do something in a certain way, it just seems to stick and its easier sometimes to not change something which isn’t broken if you get my meaning.

I’m sure EE2.0 will give us lots of new challenges

It’s good to see this laid out for people Carl.

Another approach that will make things more manageable and avoid the en_body etc you don’t like is to replicate the weblog and tag it’s shortname instead using that same convention, e.g. weblog_shortname_en, weblog_shortname_fr etc. You’ll need another global path variable, e.g. shortname_suffix, where that in the ‘en’ folder is ‘_en’, but then you can do {exp:weblog:entries weblog=’weblog_shortname{shortname_suffix}’ }. This also has the benefit that you can assign editor member groups per language weblog and also access language pages in search.

Of course all this is EE 1.6.x. Not sure how things are affected in EE 2 yet.

Thanks for this tip! You have provided much more details that what was on the EE wiki. I never did get that example to work.
PS it helps to have real examples rather than talk about things in generalities.
