Switch language between pages

[Giacomo Lamonaco]

Hi all,

I wrote a similar message some hours ago, but I'm not sure if I really sent it.

I've started to experiment multi-language site functionality in Hippo. I am able to get the translated versions (and the related link) starting from an hippo document.
Now I'm trying to switch language between two pages (containing a result sets). Suppose I have two different sitemaps, one foreach languange (English/Italian):

->mysite_en
  ->hts:sitemap
     ->food
         [hst:componentconfigurationid = hst:pages/pasta-list]
->mysite_it
  ->hts:sitemap
     ->mangiare
         [hst:componentconfigurationid = hst:pages/pasta-list]


Currently I am able to reach mangiare using this url http://localhost/site/mangiare, and food using http://localhost/site/en/food

My question: when I navigate this URL http://localhost/site/mangiare, is it possible to display in the same page the related english url (http://localhost/site/en/food) ? Do I need to define some relations between the two sitemap items?

Thanks,
Giacomo

HI,

You can get all available translations of a document [1] and then create a link with the hst:link tag.

Thanks for your reply.

Currently in my project there could exist pages that don't have references to documents or folders: in that case pages contain a resultset (related to a faceted navigation). I tried to assign a refId ('foodId') to each sitemap item (for each language), but I cannot get the reference between those items.

<@hst.link siteMapItemRefId="foodId" />

How can I generate link in my language switcher for each supported languange?

The easiest way should still be to set a relative content path on each sitemap item. The translated documents can be just empty place holders, only for your landing pages.

Then you can easily create links by looking up a translated document by locale and pass the document bean to hst.link tags.

 

<@hst.link siteMapItemRefId="foodId" />

If you want to create links without a request context content bean (from relative content path on sitemap item), then I guess you can set sitemapitem ref ids to the same value (e.g, "foodId") in each localized sitemap configuration, and you can pass mount alias string additionally.

For example,

<@hst.link siteMapItemRefId="foodId" mount="site" />

or

<@hst.link siteMapItemRefId="foodId" mount="site_en" />

You need to set @hst:alias properties on hst:root mount node and hst:root/en mount node accordingly.

Woonsan

Thanks Woonsan, I specified the mount parameters in hst.link and links are correctly generated.

As you can image, I'm implementing a faceted navigation that allows me to have the documents in different folders. Currently I'm not able to switch language from a document item in a faceted result set

This is the sitemaps structure:

EN
-->food [hst:sitemapitem] { hst:componentconfigurationid=hst:pages/pasta-list, hst:relativecontentpath=pastafolder/facet-pasta, hst:refId=foodId }

_default_.html [hst:sitemapitem] { hst:componentconfigurationid:hst:pages/pasta-page, hst:relativecontentpath=pastafolder/facet-pasta/hippo:resultset/${1}.html  }

IT
-->mangiare
 [hst:sitemapitem] { hst:componentconfigurationid=hst:pages/pasta-list, hst:relativecontentpath=pastafolder/facet-pasta, hst:refId=foodId }

_default_.html [hst:sitemapitem] { hst:componentconfigurationid:hst:pages/pasta-page, hst:relativecontentpath=pastafolder/facet-pasta/hippo:resultset/${1}.html  }

How can I generate link in my language switcher in this case?

Thanks,
Giacomo
