Hi people, I have a quite complex URL rewriting question, I don't even know if it can be done, I'll *really* appreciate any opinion on this. I'm building some multilingual structure, I have a "Translate" product, that works like this: if I visit http://zopesite/a/b/c and the language is "en" it tries to get content (text and images) from /a/b/c/en, where en is an instance of this "translate" product. If there no such dir it gets the content from /a/b/c/ This way the mantainer can just add a "translate" wherever he wants to translate that folder content, and you can even translate "images", and don't have to rebuild the whole tree structure, just translate what you want. the language is passed via cookies and the first time is called with ?lang=en, GET syntax. The problem is that if I cache the pages there's no way to distinguish a/b/c in english from a/b/c in french, and the wrong pages come up. So I would like to add the language to the url (and would look nicer too). solution 1) use addresses like http://zopesite/a/b/c/en http://zopesite/a/b/c/fr, ... I should check if the meta_type=="translate" and call the previous dir with the correct language but if there's no "fr" translation for this folder, how can fall back to http://zopesite/a/b/c/ ? I could create some base /fr/ directory that would be seen via acquisisiton, but how can I stop the user from creating some fr/ folder that masks the root one? solution 2) addresses like http://zopesite/en/a/b/c http://zopesite/fr/a/b/c, but I want to maintain my structure where the translation goes inside the "last" folder, not double the site structure. so the rewriting would be http://zopesite/en/a/b/c -> http://zopesite/a/b/c?lang=en or the language could be passed inside REQUEST. the fact is that there are no a/b/c inside en/, it would be just an url trick. I can't do this with apache because I have to check that en/ is a real "translate" instance. this solution would be the best because the user could still create its own en,fr,es,... folders. Ok, maybe I wrote too much :-(, sorry about that, just wanted to make the point clear. Thanks in advance!!! |G|
