Hi,

I've done a multilanguage site and I made a form ( layout and class ) for italian lang, but I need the same form for eng lang...
I wish to solve the problem of traslating data and label and redirect page ( after submit form ) to landing page under right language site...

if ($flag_ricerca_ok==1)
   Director::redirect('disponibilita-en/');
   //Director::redirect('disponibilita-'.$lang.'/');
   //echo "Disponibile";
else
   Director::redirect('no-disponibilita-en/');
   //Director::redirect($langSegment.'no-disponibilita-'.$lang.'/');
   //echo "No Dispo";
   }

So:

In Layout/HomePage.ss

<% if Locale == "en_GB" %>
 <!-- Inglese Search Form -->
 $DisponibilitaStep1EN_Form
  <% end_if %>
   <% if Locale == "it_IT" %>
 $DisponibilitaStep1Form
  <% end_if %>

and into Include dir , I've DisponibilitaStep1EN_Form.ss . The DisponibilitaStep1Form is rendered but other not when I'm in english site.

Under my_site/code, I've create class :

<?php
class DisponibilitaStep1EN_Form extends Form {.....

Thanks

I have the same problem, I'd be interested to see how to solve it.

I have a Sidebar form which needs to direct English searches to one URL and when it the form is displayed in Italian it needs to direct submits to a different URL holding the Italian versions of the pages.

Solved.

In my form class, I wrote:

$language = Director::get_current_page()->Locale;
$lang = substr($language, 0, 2);

if ($lang == 'en')
Director::redirect('availability/');
else
Director::redirect('disponibilita-'.$lang.'/');

Bye

Thank you, that has solved my problem too.

I altered the code slightly and put it on my custom form submit function:

function submit($data, $form) {
	$language = Director::get_current_page()->Locale; 

	switch ($language) {
		case "it_IT": $form_processor_url = "italianFormProcessor"; break;
		case "en_GB": $form_processor_url = "englishFormProcessor"; break;
		default: $form_processor_url = "englishFormProcessor"; break; // not needed, but just in case
	}

	Director::redirect(Director::baseURL(). $form_processor_url . "/?element1=".$somethingID);
} // end func

That's solved it. Now all I need to do is get the form front end working in Italian too! That bit shouldn't be so difficult.

Thank you so much.
