I'm setting up a multi-language site in Joomla 2.5. Is it possible to show the default page with 'language all'?
open example.com/ ------ choose language en/zh
if 'en'
go to example.com/en/
else if 'zh'
go to example.com/zh/
my problem is ,when i open 'example.com/' it always jump to 'example.com/en/' or 'example.com/zh/' directly.
When multi-language packs are installed, Joomla will redirect to the default one. If you would like more control over your languages and a language selector for the users, then I would recommend installing JoomFish.
I haven't used JoomFish in a fairly long time but there might be a parameter to disable the language code on the end of the url upon entering the site, if not htaccess configuration might be needed.

I have a webpage with 3 languages.
The multi languages status shows all is fine.
When I am logged into the front end as superuser the language switcher works like a charm.
But when I log off and visit the page as public, the language switcher works only in a menue where I have a JSN UniForm for all languages if I unpublish it, the language switcher does not work either.
But I cannot see a difference in the settings.
I can access the correct language by changing the url to the specific language and the correct pages are displayed.
We are using Joomla 3.6.4, and the template JSN Air Pro.
Update:
I realized I did not describe the problem correctly:
When I am on the English page the language switcher is shown, but it does not show the other languages. So ti is not possible to change the language via the language switcher.
All three languages are installed and published.
Do you have any suggestions what setting I need to change?
Go to your module (Language Switcher) set Access -> public, now you can see module in front end as a public.
I found a lot of resource on the web talking about issue like mine but nothing worked for me.
I build a joomla 3.4.1 website, installed a rocket theme template (momentum) based on Gantry.
I created 3 categories, 1 for each language. I created the pages. Both pages and categories are correctly set for the good language.
I left a main menu for all language, with a module, deactivated.
I created 3 menus (one for each language) with each time a home page (the flags appear in the menu)
I installed the multilanguage module it seems to be good.
Then I went to the template manager. Let a style for "all languages" and created copies for each language. For each language, I choose the good menu.
Is there anything wrong with what I did ?
I'm really welcoming any kind of help...
The URL is: www.bsports.be
(On safari, I've a too many redirect issue, not on chrome)

Made some change to the .htaccess and it works fine now, hope this will help others
I created a website in Joomla 3.4, but the Multilanguage feature is just not working for me. I have followed the steps here:
https://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/multi-lingual-joomla/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNI_B3RezgQ
I do not see the flags for my FaLang module and now I have an error about my menu. (my site is salimlawfirm.com/en).
The Spanish site should be at salimlawfirm.com/es but this does not load the website. Instead shows me the root directory.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
You might want to give our component a try Neno Translate it has a bunch of features in addition to Falang.
To make it work you have to be very meticulous. The ostraining link tells you how to work with third parties module/compontents. But you can achieve a multi-language website in Joomla with no extra help.
Install the language packages you need
Activate the related language plugins if need be
Create a "main menu" (for example choose the type blog)per language where you set at list one item which is the home page of your website. Select the language of that item in the language dropdown
now you can create content, but set every time the language of the post.
Joomla has a build in language switcher module that you can use. set it. Now if you select a language, only the post of that language will show up in your home page. you will need to set a main menu module per language published in the same position as well.
I have a multilingual website (spanish and english) using Joomla 2.5.7. I want to force the default languague to spanish regardless of the default browser languague on the visitor's computer.
I already checked Extensions -> Language Manager and marke Spanish the default. But it keeps showing in english even after I clear the browser cache.
I also checked Extensions -> Language Manager Content tab and put spanish first without luck.
What I'm missing?
Thanks!
Ok, the solution was:
Extensions -> Plug In Manager then search for System - Language Filter and under Basic Options change Language Selection for new Visitors accordingly
Hope this helps someone else
I am developing an intranet with Joomla 2.5 and I have two menu type modules, one for each language (English and Spanish). The type of access for both menu items registered user is of type (pre-installed by default in Joomla).
I have activated the module language change and the auto-login plugin (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-access/authentication-cloud-based/10508).
When I access the website through the auto-login (I access directly in English) I can navigate successfully through all the menu items. The problem is when language change. Changing the language session is lost and I get the screen with the login form.
Why session is lost?, What is the problem?.
Thanks for the help.
Greetings!
ok, this might help:
On backend go to site->global->congiguration->system->session settings and try playing with options there.
The problem was not in the core of Joomla. The problem was in a module (which I developed myself) and made a session_destroy(). In addition, this module was assigned to all menu items in Spanish.
I feel have made you waste time. Apologies.
Greetings.
