Hi Martin, there is some work under its way for content-negotiation. However, if you just want to transparent provide localized pages, you might try out my VaryTag (see http://www.zope.org/Members/tino/ ) Its a bit ugly in the respect it needs to spawn all language blocks in one document. Alternatively, you can use something like that in an index_html method: <dtml-if "'de' in objectIDs('DTML Method')"> <dtml-if "'en' in objectIDs('DTML Method')"> <dtml-vary lang="de"> <dtml-var de> <dtml-vary lang="en"> <dtml-var en> <dtml-else> <dtml-var de> </dtml-if en> <dtml-else> <dtml-var en> </dtml-if en> Providing you have at least one of two DTML-Methods with ids 'de' and 'en' in your folder Note: the second "vary" is not a new tag but a block continuation (like elif to if). You can only use one vary-tag in a published object. HTH Tino Wildenhain --On Montag, 28. Mai 2001 09:17 +0200 Martin Stoetzel <martin.stoetzel@gmx.net> wrote:

Hi,

I am working on a homepage with two languages, German and English (whereas German is the default language, sorry guys ;)

I have a button to change the language. By clicking this 'language'-button another index_html is loaded, the menu and the content of the main-cell changes its language.

The problem is that I don't have the English translation of all pages and therefore want to check if a method "default_en" exists in the folder. If not, show the "default"-method (which is German) It is not that easy because I need to check the exact (absolute) method location because a folder may not have the default_en but inherits from its Parents.

This method-exist check is the problem. I have read former mails and tried the "hasattr" function but I could not make it run.

Thanks for any input.

Martin
