Forum Archive - Add trailing slash to rel="canonical" overview pages

So I've finally configured the gtranslate delivery service to work with Wordpress on Windows IIS 7.5. However, I'm still having issues with the web.config rewrite rules. Currently, my website is setup to force trailing slashes so clicking on a foreign flag will successfully redirect the homepage from domain.com to domain.com/th/ But I receive a 404 error when I visit domain.com/th (no trailing slash). This wouldn't normally be an issue, except that domain.com/th (no trailing slash) is set as the canonical URL on the page. So search engines are told to find /th or /es when in fact, they're supposed to crawl the version with trailing slashes. My question is, how to change the canonical url on the translated pages to include a trailing slash? <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.finishlynx.com/th" /> should really be <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.finishlynx.com/th" /> so there are no 404 errors. Or at least it should redirect no slash to slash automatically. Here are my current IIS 7.5 web.config rewrite rules: <rule name="Redirects" stopProcessing="true"> <match url=".*" /> <conditions> <add input="{Redirects:{REQUEST_URI}}" pattern="(.+)" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="{C:1}" appendQueryString="false" /> </rule> <rule name="Redirect finishlynx.com to www" patternSyntax="Wildcard" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="*" /> <conditions> <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="finishlynx.com" /> </conditions> <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.finishlynx.com/{R:0}" /> </rule> <rule name="gtranslate1" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^(af|sq|am|ar|hy|az|eu|be|bn|bs|bg|ca|ceb|ny|zh-CN|zh-TW|co|hr|cs|da|nl|en|eo|et|tl|fi|fr|fy|gl|ka|de|el|gu|ht|ha|haw|iw|hi|hmn|hu|is|ig|id|ga|it|ja|jw|kn|kk|km|ko|ku|ky|lo|la|lv|lt|lb|mk|mg|ms|ml|mt|mi|mr|mn|my|ne|no|ps|fa|pl|pt|pa|ro|ru|sm|gd|sr|st|sn|sd|si|sk|sl|so|es|su|sw|sv|tg|ta|te|th|tr|uk|ur|uz|vi|cy|xh|yi|yo|zu)/(af|sq|am|ar|hy|az|eu|be|bn|bs|bg|ca|ceb|ny|zh-CN|zh-TW|co|hr|cs|da|nl|en|eo|et|tl|fi|fr|fy|gl|ka|de|el|gu|ht|ha|haw|iw|hi|hmn|hu|is|ig|id|ga|it|ja|jw|kn|kk|km|ko|ku|ky|lo|la|lv|lt|lb|mk|mg|ms|ml|mt|mi|mr|mn|my|ne|no|ps|fa|pl|pt|pa|ro|ru|sm|gd|sr|st|sn|sd|si|sk|sl|so|es|su|sw|sv|tg|ta|te|th|tr|uk|ur|uz|vi|cy|xh|yi|yo|zu)/(.*)$" /> <action type="Redirect" url="/{R:1}/{R:3}" redirectType="Permanent" /> </rule> <rule name="gtranslate2" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^(af|sq|am|ar|hy|az|eu|be|bn|bs|bg|ca|ceb|ny|zh-CN|zh-TW|co|hr|cs|da|nl|en|eo|et|tl|fi|fr|fy|gl|ka|de|el|gu|ht|ha|haw|iw|hi|hmn|hu|is|ig|id|ga|it|ja|jw|kn|kk|km|ko|ku|ky|lo|la|lv|lt|lb|mk|mg|ms|ml|mt|mi|mr|mn|my|ne|no|ps|fa|pl|pt|pa|ro|ru|sm|gd|sr|st|sn|sd|si|sk|sl|so|es|su|sw|sv|tg|ta|te|th|tr|uk|ur|uz|vi|cy|xh|yi|yo|zu)/(.*)$" /> <action type="Rewrite" url="/gtranslate/gtranslate.php?glang={R:1}&amp;gurl={R:2}" appendQueryString="true" /> </rule> <rule name="gtranslate3" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^(af|sq|am|ar|hy|az|eu|be|bn|bs|bg|ca|ceb|ny|zh-CN|zh-TW|co|hr|cs|da|nl|en|eo|et|tl|fi|fr|fy|gl|ka|de|el|gu|ht|ha|haw|iw|hi|hmn|hu|is|ig|id|ga|it|ja|jw|kn|kk|km|ko|ku|ky|lo|la|lv|lt|lb|mk|mg|ms|ml|mt|mi|mr|mn|my|ne|no|ps|fa|pl|pt|pa|ro|ru|sm|gd|sr|st|sn|sd|si|sk|sl|so|es|su|sw|sv|tg|ta|te|th|tr|uk|ur|uz|vi|cy|xh|yi|yo|zu)$" /> <action type="Redirect" url="/{R:1}/" /> </rule>

Can anyone from the gtranslate team help me fix the canonical trailing slash issue?

Hi, When I visit domain.com/th it redirects me to domain.com/th/ You need to find how canonical link is being generated and modify the PHP code to include / in the end. Thanks!

I was able to fix the non trailing slash redirects, but I still cannot figure out how to change the canonical urls. I assumed this was generated automatically by gtranslate on the server side. Is this not the case? How are the canonical urls typically displayed for other gtranslate clients. Should they contain a trailing slash when properly configured? Are you suggesting it's an error with our rewrite/install rather than a standard feature of the gtranslate? Appreciate your help and patience.

On your original website I can see this canonical meta for home page: <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.domain.com" /> it has no / in the end. It is not an error, everything is working fine, you just want / in the end, so if you want you may add. Thanks!
