I've tested both  Apollo Software and Locopon. One thing bothers me: both modules don't support unique urls. For example, if I have a site www.mysite.com, after I click tab "Forum", the url will be www.mysite.com/Forum/tabid/18/Default.aspx, then I select a language "French", I will get the same page in French and the url will be www.mysite.com/Forum/tabid/18/language/fr-FR/Default.aspx (so far so good), but if you click "Forum" again, the url will go back to www.mysite.com/Forum/tabid/18/Default.aspx, even though the page still displays in French. This applies to all the other languages: no matter what language selected for the same content, the url stays the same.

This is NOT search engine friendly.

Is there any ML module out there that can support the unique urls?

Thanks.

to be complete: it is also not completely search engine unfriendly. Search engines will also see the links from the language selector and index your site in all the different languages: that is much more than the default DNN language selector can do for you!

However, you have a point, and i have been thinking about adding the language parameter to my navigation solution.. that will be implementend transparent, so all modules and skinobjects that support my PageLocalization module will get that feature....

cheers,

Erik

It's been a year since the last time I used the Apollo module. It really worked well except for the url part. Yes it's not completely search engine unfriendly but it's very difficult for search engine to index.

I was so excited to find the Apollo language module since the multilingual is so important to my sites. But I haven't been able to use it in a real world because of the url issue.

I don't know how difficult it is to add the language parameter to your navigation solution. But if you can fix that url issue it would be great and I can show people how useful your module can be.

Please contact me by e-mail (erik at apollo-software dot nl), so we can discuss this a bit further. It would not be too hard to add language parameters to the urls of navigation objects, but there are other issues as well. If you like we could work together to solve all problems you have, and at the same time make my tools a lot better ;)

cheers,

Erik

Hi Erik,

I sent you an email a while ago regarding this issue. Never heard anything back. Since this url thing is critical for the project I am working on, I would like to know whether or not it's doable to make the urls "unique".

Thanks.
