Changing the language of the 'WEB' context

Hello,

How to change language of the site frontend?

I have added second language and all lexicon entries, also for [[Login]] snippet.

That’s up to you as the site designer/developer to determine. Lexicons for use in the front-end is a new concept and I’m sure as component developers begin exploring i18n development for the front-end, a variety of solutions will be realized.

There is an event, OnInitCulture, that is fired on initialization of the modX class which you could use to set the $modx->cultureKey (defaults to ’en’). This could be used to set the language for the request in a specific context, such as ’web’, and all subsequent calls to $modx->lexicon->load() should use that language unless specified in that function call.

Did you mean ’OnInitCulture’?

I did; sorry for the confusion. Trying to get multiple versions of PHP easily accessible via MacPorts had me distracted (sigh).

I’ve only encountered errors when identical_tvs was set to "not configured" string (the default value) or when the identical_tvs was equal to 0.
Deleting this field (null value) OR setting the value equal to the ID of babel_ids TV was the solution for me.

Thank you both of you.

You could also just add a context setting for ’cultureKey’ and set it to the IANA code for your language...
