Choice language By customer

freddyvangeel

I'm using the multilingual version.

We are in Belgium, so we have two languages.

Is it possible for the front end to have a language choice?

Backend can be english or by choice, but that's not that important...

Thanks a million

ive been trying to accomplish this by myself, but no luck sofar...

in the "/client/header.inc.php"

below

<li><a class="home" href="index.php"><?= $trl->translate('TEXT_HOME'); ?></a></li>

</li>

i've added:

<li>

<!<!--

<?php

//$chooselanguage = $_POST;

$language = $_POST;

echo $language." Test Fase!";

//echo $dir;

?>>

<form method="post" name="chooselanguage" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>">

<select name="chooselanguage">

 <option selected>Please Select...
<option value="nl">Nederlands</option>
<option value="us">English</option>
<option value="fr">Francais</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">
</form>

</li>

for a dropdown to choose the language.

then

in the "class.translate.php" i've changed this line:

define('OSTLANG','us');

define('OSTLANG','$chooselanguage');

i'm not very good with php (obviously) so i hope someone can help me (and eveybody who needs this..

thanks a milion,

freddy

have you found an answer for this yet?

freddyvangeel

yes i did, after countless hours of searching...

in settings.php i've changed

#Translator Configure

define('OSTLANG','us');

#Translator Configure

if(preg_match('/nl/', $_SERVER)){

define('OSTLANG','nl');

}  elseif (preg_match('/fr/', $_SERVER)){
define('OSTLANG','fr');
}else {
define('OSTLANG','us');

}

probably not the best line of code, but now the language is set on the browser language.

i'm only interested in dutch and french, and if it doesnt work the customer will have to do with english.

hope this helps anyone,
