LanguageSelector: Order of Appearance

Posted by Community Admin on 26-May-2011 00:00

Hi,

I've got a LanguageSelector widget in a page template used by all my pages.
I have two languages enabled, and translatations in each for all my pages.
The problem I experience is that the order in which languages appear vary from one page to another. For instance, on my home page I have "français" and then "English", but if I navigate on another page I get "English" first, and "français" second.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Regards,
Carl

Hi Carl,

Can you tell me what steps you followed when adding translation to the pages?

I could not reproduce the problem when:

1. Create a page in English.
2. Create page # 2 in English.
3. Added French to page#1, when asked if I want to sync the pages, said OK, and ticked the box in the popup.
4. Same for page#2.
5. Dropped the Language widget, checked the box where it says: Include current language in the selector. ( check attached screenshot )
6. Same for page#2.

Finally when I was browsing the pages the order of translations did not change in the widget.

All the best,

Hi,

Since it was at the very beginning of my project, I started over a new site and the problem didn't show up this time..

Since I don't want to re-create all pages of my sites, I found another solution using a custom template for Language Selector Control widget. Here is the code I'm successfully using:

public class LanguageSelectorControl : Telerik.Sitefinity.Localization.Web.UI.LanguageSelectorControl

private List<string> languagesOrder;

private List<string> LanguagesOrder

get

if (languagesOrder == null)

try

languagesOrder = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("LanguagesOrder").Split(',').ToList();

catch (Exception ex)

languagesOrder = "fr,de,it,en".Split(',').ToList();

return languagesOrder;

protected override IEnumerable<CultureInfo> GetLanguagesToDisplay()

return base.GetLanguagesToDisplay().OrderBy(o => LanguagesOrder.IndexOf(o.TwoLetterISOLanguageName));

Hello Julien,

Can you please provide more information about your project as well as which version of Sitefinity do you use. In our latest service pack 4.1 there were many fixes including such for ML support, so could you try and reproduce the issue ( and provide steps ) with our latest release?
