HOW TO: xml:lang=YOUR LANG de en es se fr it ...

Post by Jensensen »

You probably noticed that --> config

Code: Select all

$phpwcms['default_lang']      = 'ABC';  //default language
is responsible for the xml:lang source code of the page, like for example:

Code: Select all

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="ABC" lang="ABC">
But what happens when you have a multilingual site [SEO] running with many different site structure levels for each language (so called 'trees')?

The visitor and any --> search engine will get --> DEFAULT ==> 'ABC'
--> for EVERY PAGE in --> each tree - EVEN for those pages which content ACTUAL was written for example in ES, IT, SE, DK, UK. FR, EN...

hmm, I think this is very unsatisfying, disappointing.

[But did you know that :?: ]
You'll succeed by --> CUSTOM templates that will override --> CONF :!:

Just ADD [this conf-var! :shock: ]:

Code: Select all

$phpwcms['DOCTYPE_LANG'] = "whatever_lang";
to
[a custom template :? 8) for me THIS was new because THERE never was DOCTYPE_LANG in]

/template/inc_settings/template_default/MYcustom_settings.php

[ http://code.google.com/p/phpwcms/issues/detail?id=147 ]

or frontend_init something :idea:

I'm sorry that not.
I'm sorry for the irritation, also. That was a citation [OG] of the issue #147 thread only - not my idea.

I actually don't have any idea for FE-init scripts in this case. I'd prefer custom templates to use.

Mhh, i don´t understand this recurring question.

Put it into e.g. frontend_render:

Code: Select all

$GLOBALS['phpwcms']['DOCTYPE_LANG'] = "en-za";
Result:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-za" lang="en-za">

OK, soweit klar. Wenn jetzt ein Browser mit der Sprachpräferenz [fr] daherkommt, hat der DOCtype aber auch [en-za] drin stehen, oder? Also müsste der frontend renderer die Browser-lang abfragen -ein switch sozusagen- und dann injizieren....
Ok, this is cleared so far. But a browser with a language preference of [fr] will get injected this [en-za] too. So there is a need for some additional switch.... ask for browser lang preferred and inject this, not that... or something similar

Ok, if I place a file named inject_doctype_lang.php into frontend_render containing

Code: Select all

<?php
$phpwcms['DOCTYPE_LANG'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
?>
I'm getting something like
xml:lang="en-US,en;q=0.7,en-us;q=0.3" lang="en-US,en;q=0.7,en-us;q=0.3"
or
xml:lang="de-DE" lang="de-DE"
So far, so good.... what else? ;)
