Hi,
 

I'm creating my own module for changing language for DNN portal (v 4.9.4). I want to change the language for the site without changing the URL (using rewrite URL so the language query key is not visible)

I tried almost anything to make DNN change the lang but nothing works

            Localization.SetLanguage(ddlLAng.SelectedValue);           
            System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(ddlLAng.SelectedValue);
            System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(ddlLAng.SelectedValue);
            (this.Page as PageBase).PageCulture = new CultureInfo(ddlLAng.SelectedValue);
            Personalization.SetProfile("Localization", "language", ddlLAng.SelectedValue);

After that i redirect on the same URL

It changes the lang i FF(just for first load of the page) but not in IE , when i navigate back to home page the language did not change.

It works fine when i have language key in the query and i change the lang like using this LocalTokenReplace.ReplaceEnvironmentTokens("[URL]");

Also tried to disable "Enable Language Parameter in URLs for Current Portal? " option for admin and host (Admin/Host - Languages)

I thing forcing the language in the URL is bad practice,

Please help is this a bug or is there some workaround.

Best Reagrds,

DotNetNuke Module Development

can you explain that? Not having the language in the url will make sure that search engines will not be able to spider your multilingual content....
