Magento商店语言切换

Question

I have a magento shop with 2 languages. The language switcher works with set a different store view in the url.

• /shop/?___store=myshop_view for mainlanguage
• /shop/?___store=myshop_view_fr for french

That works fine and how it should work. Now first problem comes when I am in french store and switch to mainlanguage with /shop/?___store=myshop_view , now I see the shop in the mainlanguage, but when I call /shop/ without any storeview paramenters it switches back to french. Why is that and can I change that?

The second problem comes with externall add to card links. A add to card link would look like: /shop/checkout/cart/add/uenc/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5teS13aW5lLmNoLnJ1dGlzaGF1c2VyLm5pbmUuY2gv/product/2169/?___SID=U&___store=myshop_view So this link is for the main language. If the shop was in french before and I click this link, i get the success message in the main language, but the rest of the shop is french again.

I think the first and second problem are nearly the same. Then the add to card link will redirect to the shop overview without any store view paramenter in the url.

Any idea how I can get a add to card link that can switch the language of the shop?

Answer 1

As @RohitS said. Magento saves the storeview in the cookie, and with the url you can change the storeview temporary, but the value in the cookie is still the same.

Good thing is, that the external add to card link is on a subdomain, so I was able to set the cookie for the hole domain (by adding a dot before the domain name: .domain.com). In the cookie I just had to set document.cookie = "store=myshop_view_fr;path=/;domain=.my-shop.com"; The path attribute was important for me, cause the shop is in /shop/.

You can switch visitors to a store view of their preferred language based upon their location.

First of all, make sure the following configuration settings are met.

· Your web server must have mod_rewrited enabled.

· Enable URL rewriting (Admin Panel → System → Configuration → Web → Url Options → Use Web Server Rewrites → Yes).

· Enable store code in the urls (Admin Panel → System → Configuration → Web → Url Options → Add store code to Urls → Yes).

Next, you have to create store views. Here we create 2 store views. English and Spanish.

English Store View:

· Go to Manage Stores (Admin Panel → System → Manage Stores).

· Create a new store view

· Set the store and name to appropriate values (eg Default Store and English)

· Set the code to the country code, in this case en. This is the value that will be matched to the browser locale settings.

· Sort order should remain zero (0) as this will be our default language.

Do the same for Spanish store view but set the order to 1 in this case.

Lastly, we have to modify index.php to enable redirection when a visitor visits the main store url as follows.

require_once 'app/Mage.php';

/* Determine correct language store based on browser */

function getStoreForLanguage()

{

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'])) {

foreach (explode(",", strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'])) as $accept) {

if (preg_match("!([a-z-]+)(;q=([0-9.]+))?!", trim($accept), $found)) {

$langs[] = $found[1];

$quality[] = (isset($found[3]) ? (float) $found[3] : 1.0);

}

}

// Order the codes by quality

array_multisort($quality, SORT_NUMERIC, SORT_DESC, $langs);

// get list of stores and use the store code for the key

$stores = Mage::app()->getStores(false, true);

// iterate through languages found in the accept-language header

foreach ($langs as $lang) {

$lang = substr($lang,0,2);

if (isset($stores[$lang]) && $stores[$lang]->getIsActive()) return $stores[$lang];

}

}

return Mage::app()->getStore();

}

/* Auto redirect to language store view if request is for root */

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] === '/') {

header('Location: '.getStoreForLanguage()->getBaseUrl());

exit;

}

#Varien_Profiler::enable();

#Mage::setIsDeveloperMode(true);

#ini_set('display_errors', 1);

umask(0);

Mage::run();
