Is there a way to make language dependant front pages? Unfortunately the i18n module browser detecion doesnt work on the front page and it stores language information in the url. Maybe this can be made by a browser detection+ redirect?
I have links like "forum" "gallery" which after coming from mysite/en/node/x turn into "en/forum" and "en/gallery" to keep language but the Home don't. I tried using this module and set only "node" as a redirect for breadcrumbs but that didnt work, it doesn't make it into /en/node according to the current language. This language info could be got from the url and pasted before node and so I could have two front pages but now there no way to make two for the same authentication level.

In fact it would be nice to have more than two front pages with different conditions not only this logged in - anonymous pair. Like an extra page for seasonal stuff like xmas or pages for more kinds of user roles and other custom things. Is this possible?
thank you

hi asia fan,

I've had an indepth look at this + installed the Internationalization (i18n) module and I'm not going to update the 4.7 module further with Internationlisation options, because the front_page.module already works with the internationalisation module when using REDIRECT as the option for front page settings.

however, I do have an idea for the Drupal 5.0 version of the front_page.module that will allow for multilingual home/splash/front pages, which will be released as a seperate international front page module.

The reason is to keep the core module light, simple and functional for as many as possible...and unleash a second module that allows users to setup international versions.

hope that makes sense.

Hello,

love the frontpage module - using it in practically all my drupal installations.

However, multi-language site are still an issue; is there any progress on this?

The only workaround I could find was the use of "standard" pages w/ translations as the front page, however this is bad because it reduces flexibility (page titles need to be shown etc.), so I am still looking for a multilanguage-Implementation of frontpage....

Thanks for your feedback on this!
