Question

Hi I have an html template for switching languages on my site:

<form action="{{ SITE_URL }}i18n/setlang/" name="postlink" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
    <ul class="lang">
        <li class="lang">
            {% for lang in LANGUAGES %}
                {% if lang.0 != LANGUAGE_CODE %}
                    <input type="hidden" name="language" value="{{ lang.0 }}">
                    <a class="active" href=# onclick="submitPostLink()">{{ lang.1 }}</a>
                {% else %}
                    {{ lang.1 }}
                {% endif %}
                {% if forloop.last %}{% else %} &nbsp; | &nbsp;{% endif %}
            {% endfor %}
        </li>
    </ul>
</form>

All this works fine on the dev server and in production and in production at the normal url of http://www.mysite.com/project/

However, if I try project.mysite.com or mysite.com.project I get my home page as normal but changing the language brings up the 403 Forbidden failure.

Do I need to define the root url variations I need for setlang somewhere?

Any help much appreciated.

Since these urls are running on different subdomains, you should check the domain setting for the CSRF cookie CSRF_COOKIE_DOMAIN: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/contrib/csrf/#subdomains
