Forum Archive - GTranslate Pro for Joomla and external links

GTranslate Pro for Joomla translates external links (text and banners) with language suffixes (ru, pl, ar etc,) included. For example: http://jobera.com/banners/click14.html is correct banner link, but after translation to polish language it becomes http://jobera.com/pl/banners/click14.html which is incorrect and leads into the non existent/empty page. How to deal with this? All the best, Stefan

Hi, You may set a redirect in your .htaccess file to redirect all XX/banners/... to /banners/... Thanks!

You may set a redirect in your .htaccess file to redirect all XX/banners/... to /banners/... Can you elaborate on it? Please give the correct code and some examples. What about the external text links? How to deal with them? All the best, Stefan

Try to place this code before GTranslate rewrite rules: RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/banners/(.*)$ /banners/$2 [R=301,L]

What about the external text links? How to deal with them? You did not answer the above questions. All the best, Stefan

Not sure what external links? Can you provide an example and what you need?

These are links to affiliate websites generated by Joomla's "Web Links Manager: Web Links". For example: before translation http://jobera.com/cv-builders/Online-CV-Builder.html is correct after translation http://jobera.com/pl/cv-builders/Online-CV-Builder.html is incorrect and leads to empty page, or before translation http://jobera.com/cv-writing/The-CV-Centre.html after translation http://jobera.com/pl/cv-writing/The-CV-Centre.html leads to empty page. Where "cv-builders" and "cv-writing" represent "Categories" in "Web Links". I need a solution to the problem. I want the links after translation to lead to correct links before translation. All the best, Stefan

Hi, You will need to set a similar redirect rule in your .htaccess for each category of your external links. Ex: RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/cv-writing/(.*)$ /cv-writing/$2 [R=301,L] ... It happens because GTranslate is not intended to translate external websites.
