How do I go about refreshing the cache, setting the cultureKey and refreshing page when clicking a link? It would be extremely useful for using the snippet l10nTag.

you can set the cultureKey with a plugin at the system-event OnInitCulture

this is part of a plugin I'm working on currently, which does switch the cultureKey and siteUrl, depending on different URLs

    if (!empty($_REQUEST['cultureKey'])) {
        $_SESSION['cultureKey'] = $_REQUEST['cultureKey'];
    }

    //$modx->setOption('original_site_url', $modx->getOption('site_url'));
    if (!empty($_SESSION['cultureKey'])) {
        $modx->setOption('cultureKey', $_SESSION['cultureKey']);
        //$modx->setOption('site_url', $modx->getOption('site_url') . $_SESSION['cultureKey'] . '/');
        //$modx->config['site_url'] = $modx->getOption('site_url') . $_SESSION['cultureKey'] . '/';
    }

you will need to call everything, what is translated uncached.
But you can use the getCache - snippet, for example, to build caches for every language.

Thank you. I will try and figure out how I can use this. Can you tell me how I trigger OnInitCulture with a link?

OnInitCulture is invoked on every request. You just need to create a plugin and check the system-event-checkbox for OnInitCulture

Okay, but how do I set the cultureKey with a link if I want the same page to be served so that the snippet l10nTag can display the new language specific items (menu, headers etc) without changing the URL and sending the visitor to a different page? Thank you for clarifying!

you will need to send the cultureKey with the link, for example:

<ul>
<li><a href="[[~[[*id]]? &cultureKey=`en`]]">English</a></li>
<li><a href="[[~[[*id]]? &cultureKey=`de`]]">Deutsch</a></li>
</ul>

I think you will not want to change your site_url, so I did comment that line out now

@Bruno17

This is absolutely flawless. Works like a charm. Many thanks! laugh

I needed this for a website where the editor posts blog entries and photo galleries in multipe languages on a daily bases, but does not want to devote separate sections of the website for users with given languages. Now a switch replaces all menu items and such. Great.
