Idea: redirect based on browser-language about babel HOT 8 CLOSED

I'm planning to provide this feature in a future version of Babel. Till then you may work with rewrite rules based on the Accept-Language HTTP header var. You may have look at this tutorial: http://www.class-zec.com/en/blog/2011/seo-friendly-multilingual-websites-with-modx-and-babel.html

okay, thanks for your reply.. I will try to create this feature for now on my own, maybe when I have finished it I could send you it here so you could determine if you want to use it! Thanks for now

It´s exactly what i need1!!!

gadamiak has done this: https://gist.github.com/gadamiak/3812853

Available as transport package on http://modx.com/extras/package/langrouter

from babel.

Easy to do with htaccess:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Language} !^de [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ en/ [R=301,L]

from babel.

One big downside with this. You can't switch languages by choice.

So if you're visiting a website from a foreign computer, you're screwed. Also, some bots might never get to see the whole site with all languages.

This can be accomplished with a language-matching snippet like this:

This is part of a routing extra and not part of Babel.
