Forum Archive - detect language (solved)

is there a way that i can use auto detect language in the first visit for some languages? in my case, i need it for the tr language.

Auto detect is not implemented. However you can add a rewrite rule in .htaccess to do that depending on the browser defined language. You can search for a solution in Google.

i tried that and it didn't work good, but i just read that this is implemented in drupal 7 core locale. do you think i can use gtranslate properly on drupal 7? or should i be waiting for a drupal 7 gtranslate module?? PS: this is kinda important for me, i'm working on a site to go online with quite many nodes, i use pressflow version 6.20 now, and i'm thinking about switching to drupal 7 instead, all my modules have 7.0 versions except gtranslate, that's why i ask about it.

For now you can use http://edo.webmaster.am/gtranslate-widget for Drupal 7 until I'll implement it for Drupal 7.

i just set up a test drupal 7, used the widget inside a block as you've mentioned, but unfortunately this doesn't work at all? i had some errors about filters and the neither the dropdown nor flags do not change the website at all? i even used the -literal- coding to see if it's related with the theme (acqua marina) but still literally nothing happens. when i check the language sub folders, the gtranslate script works quite ok? is there anything i have done wrong with the widget? i copy and paste the code below: <!-- GTranslate: http://edo.webmaster.am/gtranslate --> <a

i think it doesn't want to see the script, i see an extraordinary "//" just after the dropdown...

i just got out the "CDATA" stuff, and everything's allrgiht now, don't know if that CDATA wass important or not, but it seems to work for me. the only problem i have is, it refuses to switch between english and turkish correctly...

yes it was possible, now all the switchings work well, i had to change the widget a bit, here it is for you to check if there's something wrong (i just added the "lang" variable for the 'en' string): function doGTranslate(lang_pair) {if(lang_pair.value)lang_pair=lang_pair.value;if(lang_pair=='')return;var lang=lang_pair.split('|')[1];var plang=location.pathname.split('/')[1];if(plang.length !=2 && plang != 'zh-CN' && plang != 'zh-TW')plang='en';if(lang == 'en')location.href=location.protocol+'//'+location.host+'/'+lang+location.pathname.replace('/'+plang, '')+location.search;else location.href=location.protocol+'//'+location.host+'/'+lang+location.pathname.replace('/'+plang, '')+location.search;}
