How to setup views multilingual page displays so that "Language switcher" references correct paths

Doesn't the 'current site language' version of the filter play nicely with the language switcher?

It could be the following because I have been doing this:

English is the defualt language and so it doesn't switch properly.
When you add the _en to the language prefix is screws up the switch.

So what I did was remove the langauage prefix and register the views as ......site/viewname
Otherwise it was forcing me to name it .....site/en/viewname (which was messing it up).

Then I use the current language filter to filter my views.

After that is done I went back and turned the _prefix back on.

Mysterious the view responds to site/viewname, site/en/viewname (which switches to the default) and my other language site/ja/viewname.

If that makes sense and is the kind of thing you are trying to do it works for me.

Best of luck

If you turn the language prefix for english back on in the language settings then site/en/viewspage should work.

Check out: labs.yoroshiku.tv/graphnetwork

All the sections are views...
If you look at the works section you will see that:

http://lab.yoroshiku.tv/graphnetwork/works/2008/all

http://lab.yoroshiku.tv/graphnetwork/en/works/2008/all

http://lab.yoroshiku.tv/graphnetwork/ja/works/2008/all

All display with the default also being in English.

Because the Works link from the menu sets the url to :

http://lab.yoroshiku.tv/graphnetwork/en/works/2008/all for English
or
http://lab.yoroshiku.tv/graphnetwork/ja/works/2008/all for Japanese

However when you use the language switcher inside the Works section
the naughty language switcher does:

http://lab.yoroshiku.tv/graphnetwork/works/2008/all - for English

http://lab.yoroshiku.tv/graphnetwork/ja/works/2008/all for Japanese

Sooooooooooooo you can see it working!

Now I had the same problem as you because when I added an en for my default language prefix it forced me to have en in the views path.

So I turned it off and made the view as just 'graphnetwork/works'

This worked fine but I couldn't target the language from the link (I think......or did it for consistency) :(
So I once I made it I went back to the default language prefix and turned it back to en.

Then everything worked as it does in the examples in the links.

If that is the kind of thing you are trying to achieve then it should work for you. Keep at it!

Also I then did a sexy use of arguments for the filtering :)

The trick I want to know is how to make the View itself Multilingual.

I managed to make the Header multilingual by php and hitting the $languages-language variable with a conditional.
However I couldn't pull the same trick off with the Title.

So if anyone does happen to know or find out:

How can I make the view display it's title in one language and then change the title for another language?

Is there a way to do it through Views or does it require a different way to set it up..........ie two separate view displays?

Thanks!

Hi,
No I didn't.
Where can I find that snippet?

I know there are lots of cunning handlers and snippets people can call but I am kind of too dumb to find them. Looking at the API sadly makes entirely no sense to me without examples.

Is it something like drupal_set_title("newe title"); ?

I sure there must be a website that teaches this Drupal aspect somewhere.

That's nice man.
Works like a charm.

I jut had brackets to stop php throwing an error. - in case someone reads this.

$lang = i18n_get_lang();
if($lang=="el") {
  drupal_set_title("Greek Title");}
else{
  drupal_set_title("English Title");}

How did you translate the title the other way?
With the strings translate thingy or something?

..........and do you know how to do this with the site name?
I guess I could slap that in the page template maybe?

Thanks.

Follow up note. The approach in #6 works for us. The required option label is most misleading, but glad it's a working solution! =)
