Hi all,

I'm in the process of setting up a site in Rev 2.2.6 which has two context web and arabic, I've followed the information available from the following resources:

http://www.multilingual-modx.com/
http://www.butter.com.hk/blog/posts/2010/08/internationalization-in-modx-revolution.html
http://designfromwithin.com/blog-webdesign-development/2012/01/12/modx-multilingual-setting-up-babel-and-have-a-website-with-multible-languages/

And have the following switch gateway plugin in place

<?php
if($modx->context->get('key') != "mgr"){
        /* grab the current langauge from the cultureKey request var */
        switch ($_REQUEST['cultureKey']) {
            case 'ar':
                /* switch the context */
                $modx->switchContext('arabic');
                break;
           default:
            case 'en':
                /* Set the default context here */
                $modx->switchContext('web');
                break;
        }
        /* unset GET var to avoid
         * appending cultureKey=xy to URLs by other components */
        unset($_GET['cultureKey']);
    }

And I'm making use of BabelLinks to toggle between the two contexts, and whilst that works fine in the front end, the error log is suggesting there are a few issues!

The errors appear when you go from the web (english) context to the arabic context, and continue for .

I have set up the cultureKeys for both web which is en and arabic which is ar, and also set up site_url, base_url and site_start relevant to each site, however, clearly something isn't quite right.

Suggestions please

Many thanks [ed. note: boomerang last edited this post 13 years, 6 months ago.]

I use this tutorial and this switcher plugin - no rewrite necessary.

Having come back to this fresh in the morning, resolved the problem. I was using a getResources call which had &debug activated, hence the lovely report!

But thanks for the info Susan, some resources to add to the pot.
