Here is where I'm at at the moment. I've tried, tried and tried again to get Babel working but no joy. I keep getting a 'Redirected to many times' message.
I'm trying to create and Irish and English language website. The Irish language is the main web context:
http://www.gaeltaca.ie/nua/ and my English version is the new context en:
http://www.gaeltaca.ie/nua/en/ - this is the part that I keep getting the error message.
If truth be told.....I'm completely lost. Funny thing is, I did this for another website not so long ago (and it works) but I can't for the life of me remember how I sorted it. I remember I had the same issue there too.
Here is my code for the .htaccess:
# MODX supports Friendly URLs via this .htaccess file. You must serve web
# pages via Apache with mod_rewrite to use this functionality, and you must
# change the file name from ht.access to .htaccess.
#
# Make sure RewriteBase points to the directory where you installed MODX.
# E.g., "/modx" if your installation is in a "modx" subdirectory.
#
# You may choose to make your URLs non-case-sensitive by adding a NC directive
# to your rule: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /nua/
# Rewrite www.domain.com -> domain.com -- used with SEO Strict URLs plugin
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.gaeltaca.ie/nua/ [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.gaeltaca.ie/nua/$1 [R=301,L]
#
# or for the opposite domain.com -> www.domain.com use the following
# DO NOT USE BOTH
#
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.+)$
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L] .
# Rewrite secure requests properly to prevent SSL cert warnings, e.g. prevent
# https://www.domain.com when your cert only allows https://secure.domain.com
#RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443
#RewriteRule (.*) https://example-domain-please-change.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# Redirect the manager to a specific domain - don't rename the ht.access file
# in the manager folder to use this this rule
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example-domain-please-change\.com$ [NC]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/manager [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example-domain-please-change.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# The Friendly URLs part

# If your server is not already configured as such, the following directive
# should be uncommented in order to set PHP's register_globals option to OFF.
# This closes a major security hole that is abused by most XSS (cross-site
# scripting) attacks. For more information: http://php.net/register_globals
#
# To verify that this option has been set to OFF, open the Manager and choose
# Reports -> System Info and then click the phpinfo() link. Do a Find on Page
# for "register_globals". The Local Value should be OFF. If the Master Value
# is OFF then you do not need this directive here.
#
# IF REGISTER_GLOBALS DIRECTIVE CAUSES 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERRORS :
#
# Your server does not allow PHP directives to be set via .htaccess. In that
# case you must make this change in your php.ini file instead. If you are
# using a commercial web host, contact the administrators for assistance in
# doing this. Not all servers allow local php.ini files, and they should
# include all PHP configurations (not just this one), or you will effectively
# reset everything to PHP defaults. Consult www.php.net for more detailed
# information about setting PHP directives.
#php_flag register_globals Off
# For servers that support output compression, you should pick up a bit of
# speed by un-commenting the following lines.
#php_flag zlib.output_compression On
#php_value zlib.output_compression_level 5
# The following directives stop screen flicker in IE on CSS rollovers. If
# needed, un-comment the following rules. When they're in place, you may have
# to do a force-refresh in order to see changes in your designs.

Here are my contexts:
Here is the Web context - IE:
Here is the English context - EN:
Here is my code for the gateway:
<?php
if($modx->context->get('key') != "mgr"){
/* grab the current langauge from the cultureKey request var */
switch ($_REQUEST['cultureKey']) {
case 'en':
//switch the context
$modx->switchContext('english');
break;
default:
// Set the default language/context here
$modx->switchContext('web');
break;
}
/* unset GET var to avoid appending cultureKey=xy to URLs by other components */
unset($_GET['cultureKey']);
}
Here's the installation of the Babel:
