Issue for loading language in controller - eleumas - 01-13-2021
Hi, i would like compile the meta hreflang tag dynamically and navigate the pages like in Joomla.
My site is in italian and english. Default language should be italian. My code:
Config/App.php
PHP Code:
public $defaultLocale = 'it';
public $negotiateLocale = true;
public $supportedLocales = ['it', 'en'];
Controller Main.php
PHP Code:
<?php namespace App\Controllers\It;
use App\Controllers\BaseController;
class Main extends BaseController
{
public function index()
{
$data['title'] = 'My Site';
$data['ita'] = lang('App.linkNav01', [], 'it'); // FIRST ITALIAN
$data['eng'] = lang('App.linkNav01', [], 'en'); // AFTER ENGLISH
echo view('home', $data);
}
}
View main.php
PHP Code:
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="it" href="<?php echo base_url($ita);?>" />
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="<?php echo base_url($eng);?>" />
The meta tag are ok but the site (in italian too) is always translate in english. If i change the order in controller like this:
PHP Code:
<?php namespace App\Controllers\It;
use App\Controllers\BaseController;
class Main extends BaseController
{
public function index()
{
$data['title'] = 'My Site';
$data['eng'] = lang('App.linkNav01', [], 'en'); // FIRTS ENGLISH
$data['ita'] = lang('App.linkNav01', [], 'it'); // AFTER ITALIAN
echo view('home', $data);
}
}
the site is always translate in italian. What happens? Why i have this behavior?
Thanks for help me!

Because you need to check to see which language should be displayed first
then add it to the data.

You should have a dropdown and allow the user to select the language or get the local setting.
