Orchardcore: Multi language web site
I need to add another language to my web site.
i read this help :
https://orchardcore.readthedocs.io/en/dev/docs/reference/modules/ContentLocalization/
i added this code, but it doesn't show my cultures:
<ul>
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="oc-culture-picker" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">{{Model.CurrentCulture.DisplayName}}</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="oc-culture-picker">
{% for culture in Model.SupportedCultures %}
{% if culture.Name != Model.CurrentCulture.Name %}
<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{culture.Name | switch_culture_url }}">{{culture.DisplayName}}</a>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</div>
</li>
</ul>
with this shape it shows the cultures :
{% shape "ContentCulturePicker" %}
if i change the culture it shows the content for that culture but after going to another page it with the change to default culture.
how can i fix the culture?
do you have better help to do a multi-language web site?

You can find my implementation notes here https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardCore/issues/4121. It contains a lot of info regarding website implementation including multi lingual implementation.

@dodyg i followed the topics, but it doesn't work. i think it needs better documentation.

@aghili371 what exactly doesn't work with you?
i think it doesn't save the current language. after running in next time, it doesn't know the selected language.

Do you mean the current cultures picker?

@aghili371 check this https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardCore/issues/4594#issuecomment-563903664

Do you mean the current cultures picker?
yes that is true. so if i visit the web site and selected my language, why i should change the language in the next visit on other days? i think it needs to save the currently selected culture in user browser

why i should change the language in the next visit on other days?
The language is not saved, this the behavior common for almost websites if not all, what you said is suitable for admin language

i checked Microsoft website, they just using culture in URLs.
products.office.com/**en**/compare-all-microsoft-office-products?=&activetab=tab%3Aprimaryr2&market=af

Ya, this is a querstring which already supported, but I'm not sure if @jptissot is use it or he used Cookie instead
hishamco

Cookie '.AspNetCore.Culture'

As expected
hishamco
on 15 Dec 2019
this is correct?
<body dir="{{Culture.Dir}}" >
it doesn't work for me:
<body dir="" data-gr-c-s-loaded="true">

How the culture fallback to invariant culture?!!
hishamco
on 19 Dec 2019
i selected invariant language, it is empty.
aghili371
on 19 Dec 2019
Why you do that?
hishamco
on 19 Dec 2019
i need to add de, fa-ir, ar too.
aghili371
on 19 Dec 2019
Why you didn't add them directly to the supported cultures list?
hishamco
on 20 Dec 2019
The Invariant culture name is String.Empty(). That's a small display issue.
Skrypt

The Invariant culture name is String.Empty()
Ya, but still wondering why he added it, while the intend is support de, ar and fa-IR cultures
hishamco
on 20 Dec 2019
I think that on Mac OS or some Linux distributions if it doesn't find a proper InstalledUICulture it will install the fallback culture "on setup" which is the Invariant one. That's probably why he has it. And remember that a culture cannot be NULL ever.

Be careful as an empty dir attribute on the html element is Invalid html

de,arandfa-IRcultures
i just wanted to show you that. i have en and de.
the problem in getting empty dir by {{Culture.Dir}}

the problem in getting empty dir by {{Culture.Dir}}
Try to print out the CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture
hishamco

Do we have the ability to localize site settings for every culture? for example, the site name is there, so it is not correct to use same name for all cultures.
aghili371
on 23 Dec 2019
AFAIK everything should be localized except the once that data related, there's already a draft PR for data localization support
hishamco
on 23 Dec 2019
It would be super useful to have the ability to add custom key value pairs for simple localized strings.
Then be able to refer them like site settings but it would get a localized version based on the current culture:
{{Site.LocalizedStrings.SomeKey}}
or
{{Site.LocalizedStrings['fr'].SomeKey}}
CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture
i used this:
<body dir="{{CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture}}" >
it still empty
aghili371

This will not happen unless you are using InvariantCulture!!
hishamco
on 24 Dec 2019
{{ CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture }} won't work. You need to debug and see what {{Culture.Dir}} returns and why. And for returning the current CultureInfo you need to use {{ Culture }} simply.
See CultureLiquidTemplateEventHandler.cs

I didn't realize that we have the same bug that we faced in Razor, @aghili371 you could use the latest bits and the lang will be rtl
Is there any further questions?

$("#msg" + type).html("Please add your Email*");
