Thread: Translate script URL problems

I have just tried to upgrade to the 2009-09-23 version of the translate script but have encountered the following problem in the translated URL structure.

My site is http : / / www. domainname .com (example url). I installed translate script and clicked on one of the flags to translate. This took me to
==> http : / / www. domainname. com/lang/es
so far so good. then I clicked on one of the links. This took me to
==> http : / / www. domainname. com/lang/es/menu1
fantastic - all good. Then I clicked on one of the links from this menu page and the wheels fell off.
It should have taken me to
==> http : / / www. domainname. com/lang/es/detail-page1.html
but it tried to link to
==> http : / / www. domainname. com/lang/es/menu1/detail-page1.html

When I try other links it keeps concatenating on end of URL giving 404 errors.

I am using the full URL name in my site (no relative links). Any ideas what is going on here? The translate works correctly on this same site with old Version 2.13 of the script.

What CMS is that site running?

Can you share the URL?

I have the same problem with my site:
h**p://www.actu-master.com/lang/de/affaires/
I'm using articlems cms.

Thank you in advance for your support.

EDIT:
I think it has something to do with my .htaccess file, so here it is, may be it could help:

Code:

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_value session.use_only_cookies 1
php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

RewriteRule .* index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

php_value default_charset "UTF-8"

Can you disable your .htaccess file for long enough to test whether it is indeed creating the issue?

Thank you Will.
I'll try this and keep you informed.

Hi Will,

I am having this same issue as well. I will attempt to remove the htaccess file as well.

Thanks,

Matt

My experience with the htaccess file did not result in success. The issue seems to be in the htaccess file, as I am now having similar rewrite problems with the rest of the site...

Me neither, removing one by one and testing all the elements of the htaccess file didn't solve my problem.

I found the problem for my site, I had '../yada/' file calls all over the place instead of absolute /yada/ Not sure if that will help, but it solved quite a few of my problems that seemed like htaccess problems.
