Babel or migxmultilang?

I don't like the idea of being forced to use pdoTools, however.

1. custom-snippets
2. output-filters
3. plugin
4. existing tools

What I also really don't like is working in a javascript pop up box.

no need to re-invent any wheels.

We've been a longtime Babel-user and still use it in all our new projects. We checked the migxmutlilang addon but have some objections to use it. We made a pro's and con's list

Cons:
- There is no way to get unique URL prefixes for language-specific resources, eg: site.com/en/home, site.com/nl/home, site.com/de/home
- There is no way to get a seperate domain name for a language, eg: site.com/home, site.nl/home, site.de/home (there is a possibility with a dirty htaccess hack, but that's not really what we want)
- Can't use TV's
- Can't use Wayfinder or getResources
- We think an end-user will not experience it as logical
- You always have all languages for a page. There's no possibility to make one page language-specific. You have to use all languages, even if you don't want to

Pros:
- A clean resource tree

This led us to the the conclusion that we keep using Babel.

if (!function_exists('clientLangDetect')) {
        function clientLangDetect($modx)

            /*$langs = array();

            if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'])) {
                # break up string into pieces (languages and q factors)
                preg_match_all('/([a-z]{1,8}(-[a-z]{1,8})?)\s*(;\s*q\s*=\s*(1|0\.[0-9]+))?/i', $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], $lang_parse);

                if (count($lang_parse[1])) {
                    # create a list like "en" => 0.8
                    $langs = array_combine($lang_parse[1], $lang_parse[4]);

                    # set default to 1 for any without q factor
                    foreach ($langs as $lang => $val) {
                        if ($val === '')
                            $langs[$lang] = 1;
                    }

                    # sort list based on value
                    arsort($langs, SORT_NUMERIC);
                    return $langs;
                }
            }*/

			  case 'www.example.cz':

			  default:
				  return array("en"=>"1");

        }
    }

 $clientCultureKey = array_flip(array_intersect_key(clientLangDetect(), $languages));

$clientCultureKey = array_flip(array_intersect_key(clientLangDetect($modx), $languages));

what are your requirements, regarding permissions?

1. Is it possible for MIGXMultilang to switch between languages by IP using something like GeoIP ?
   For example, someone coming from Netherlands gets the right translation even if he was calling the general .com ?
2. In the same way, is it possible to switch between languages via a select option ?
3. How would you do to serve dedicated datas from a custom table based on the language ?
4. And last but not the least, is it possible to not fallback to the default language for specified resources ? There are cases where some resources would not be published at all in a specified language.
