I tried for hours to get Babel running on my MODx 2.2.14-install without success. Then I reminded that the site is running with lighttpd on the customers-server, so the htaccess-file is ignored.
There are two contexts, "web" as the default and "english" as the second one.
I had to change the rewrite-condition in the lighttpd.conf file to use MODx with friendly-urls from this:
# The Friendly URLs part
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
to this:
url.rewrite-once = ( "^/(assets|manager|core|connectors)(.*)$" => "/$1/$2",
"^/(?!index(?:-ajax)?\.php)(.*)\?(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=$1&$2",
"^/(?!index(?:-ajax)?\.php)(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=$1"
)
found here:

But now I don't know how to make the rewrite-routine for Babel working.
Normally by using the htaccess-file you change the htaccess like the following:
# redirect all requests to /de/favicon.ico and /en/favicon.ico
# to /favicon.ico
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(de|en)/favicon.ico$ favicon.ico [L,QSA]
# redirect all requests to /de/assets* and /en/assets* to /assets*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(de|en)/assets(.*)$ assets$2 [L,QSA]
# redirect all other requests to /de/* and /en/*
# to index.php and set the cultureKey parameter
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(de|en)?/?(.*)$ index.php?cultureKey=$1&q=$2 [L,QSA]
So I tried to change the lighttpd-code to this:
url.rewrite-once = ( "^/(assets|manager|core|connectors)(.*)$" => "/$1/$2",
"^/(?!index(?:-ajax)?\.php)(.*)\?(.*)$" => "/index.php?cultureKey?q=$1&$2",
"^/(?!index(?:-ajax)?\.php)(.*)$" => "/index.php?cultureKey?q=$1"
but then the site did only open the root-/index-site.
My 2nd try was this:
url.rewrite-once = ( "^/(assets|manager|core|connectors)(.*)$" => "/$1/$2",
"^/(?!index(?:-ajax)?cultureKey?\.php)(.*)\?(.*)$" => "/index.php?cultureKey?q=$1&$2",
"^/(?!index(?:-ajax)?cultureKey?\.php)(.*)$" => "/index.php?cultureKey?q=$1"
By using this code above I could browse through the site in the default-context normally! But when I try to open a site of the other context (like www.website.de/en/ or www.website.de/contact.html) I see the index-page of the default-content, the url in the address-line stays (www.website.de/en/contact.html)
How do I have to edit the lighttpd.conf to get Babel working?
EDIT: I was wrong! Even my second try did only show the index-site! I guess it was caching or something that I first could see the sub-sites/-resources of the defult-context. So after editing the lighttpd.conf-file with one of the examples above I only can access the index-site of the default-context!
