Oh, it looks like everything works right now! Thank you!!!
Once again, for those who got the same problem. My current setup:
MODX 2.4.0, Babel 3.0.0 Beta 4. Two contexts for two languages. Every language is in separate context, no subfolders in MODX installation.
Context configuration:
web
base_url ——— /en/
cultureKey ——— en
site_start ——— 1
site_url ——— mysite.com/en/
russian
base_url ——— /ru/
cultureKey ——— ru
site_start ——— 2
site_url ——— mysite.com/ru/
Current .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mysite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# The Friendly URLs part
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !cultureKey=(en|ru) [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ en/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (en|ru)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1$2/ [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(ru|en)/favicon\.ico$ favicon.ico [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(ru|en)/assets/(.*)$ assets/$2 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(ru|en)/(.*)$ index.php?cultureKey=$1&q=$2 [L,QSA]
Gateway plugin (actually the simplest one):
if($modx->context->get('key') != "mgr")
{
$cultureKey = $_GET["cultureKey"];
switch($cultureKey)
{
case 'ru':
$modx->switchContext('russian');
break;
case 'en':
default:
// by default, don't do anything
$modx->switchContext('web');
break;
}
}
