Hiding non-translated pages

[kfomichev]

Hi!
I'm using dj.multilingual to translate my flatpages. To switch
language I use localeurl and a switch link (in the site base
template). The problem is, I don't want ALL of my flatpages to be
translated, only the most significant. But when I'm reading a page
(that has no translation) in default language and try to switch
language, the loaded page shows "none" (because the tranclationis
absent). I'd like to avoid this by one of two means:
- when trying to switch language of a page without translation an
automatic regirection could be done to some common page (maybe home
page in that language)
or
- hiding the language switch link on the page that has no translation.
I'd prefer the first, but the second would also do.
I suppose it's quite easy, but I'm a complete newbie in django so
can't figure out how to do this.
Thanks for help.

Hey mate.

localeurl provides an `LOCALE_INDEPENDENT_PATHS` which is a tuple of
regexes, so you can include paths you want to remain, well local
independent :)

A more interesting alternative is multilingual's
`MULTILINGUAL_FALLBACK_LANGUAGES`, where you define a list of the
languages you in order of precedence.

i.e. I usually have this set for my clients:

MULTILINGUAL_FALLBACK_LANGUAGES = ['en', 'el']

Haven't tried it yet. Will it automatically hide my language switch
link on pages that match the regexes?
Anyway it doesn't seem to be good solution because I'll have to edit
settings file each time after a non-translated flatpagepage is added
to site.

my local language (primary site langage) is Russian.
In the settings.py i have following language parameters:

LANGUAGES = (
('ru', 'ru'),
('en', 'en'),
)
DEFAULT_LANGUAGE = 0

I have added to my site settings.py MULTILINGUAL_FALLBACK_LANGUAGES =
['ru']
Is the syntax correct?
Doesn't seem to change anything... Still getting "None" when trying to
view a flatpage with missing translation.
How exactly is it supposed to work? (haven't found description in any
docs).

Hi!
Can please you tell me, how you done done the switching into different languages
in multilingual flatpages?
I am also working in Multilingaul flatpages.

Thanks

I solved it in a not very graceful manner.
I edited the file templates/flatpages/default.html
I added a JavaScript condition, that checks, if page title is 'None'
and makes browser to redirect to default page.

{% block content %}<script language="JavaScript">if
("{{ flatpage.title }}"=="None") location.replace("/en/
about_company/");</script><h1 id="ft">{{ flatpage.title }}</
h1>{{ flatpage.html }}
If a page translation is absent, the page title is 'None', so django
will generate HTML with condition
if ("None"=="None") whitch evaluates to true and lets browser go to
default location.

I wish I could solve this better...
