Question

In Drupal 7 multilingual site, when a node is created with language set to something except “Language neutral”, its alias does not work (error 404) when site language is different from node language.

You can avoid this problem changing alias language to “All languages” from alias edit page (admin/config/search/path).

This is very annoying, because you have to do this for every new node with language support. Moreover, when Bulk update changes some alias, this setting is lost.

Is there any way to get “All languages” to be set for every new alias created?
Is there any way to get “All languages” to be set for all alias already created?

Answer 1

you should add this code to your template.php

function youtheme_node_presave($node) {
         if ($node->type == 'nodetype') {
         $node->language = LANGUAGE_NONE;
        }
}

this basically will save your nodes to neutral language 😉
change nodetype or add more if u need.
