I am still struggling getting LinguaPlone to work.
I have set up two language root folders /de (for German) and /en using /@@language-setup-folders. I’ve created two folders, /de/texte/ and /en/articles and defined the latter as translation of the former.
In portal_languages in the ZMI I have set:
- Allowed languages: English, German
- Negotiation Scheme: [x] Use cookie for manual override
- all other options are unchecked
I do get a language selector rendered, but when I click on “English”, which calls /de/texte/switchLanguage?set_language=en, I get an English UI, but the location is still /de/texte.
And even though the breadcrumbs say You are here: Home › texte, Home actually still points to /de instead of /en.
I’ve searched the web, but apart from some older rant on LinguaPlone I could not find what I’ve been possibly missing.
How do I configure LinguaPlone to actually load the linked translation when switching languages?
Edit:
- Plone 4.0.2
- Zope 2.12.13
- LinguaPlone 4.0
The reason for this behaviour is that LinguaPlone 4.0 is not compatible with the “Plone Classic Theme” on Plone 4.0.2.
Switching to the “Sunburst Theme” solves the problem: the language selector links point to the correct URIs then.
