Multilanguage sites - different alphabets

[tetrijeb]

Hi,

How I can create multilanguage website where I have to use different alphabets - Serbian Latin/Serbian Cyrillic/English Latin?

Original website content is written with Cyrillic alphabet. If I want to show it in Latin version I need to use replace function. I have that function prepared, but I don't know where in code I should replace the output string? I assume it is in templates, right?

Is this possible at all?

You can build multi language site:

- create one "website root" page for language
- set language fallback to the most common used language (I often create en/it website and set fallback language to en)
- install the ZedSeries Language Menu extension : https://contao.org/en/extension-list...000019.en.html

take also a look at the extensions with language tag - https://contao.org/en/extension-list/tags/Language.html

another way of doing a multilanguage website is explained here - https://contao.org/en/extension-list....60039.en.html

Okay,

I've created two versions of the website (Serbian Cyrillic /*fallback language*/ and Serbian Latin).

Now, I have to use the same news archive on both websites without changing global language variable $GLOBALS['TL_LANGUAGE'] value. Is that possible at all?

I was thinking to change the news item link depending of active language $GLOBALS['TL_LANGUAGE'] but I can't find where it is generated:

Something like this:

if lang = lang1 
then href = .../news-lang1-page/news-title
else href = .../news-lang2-page/news-title.

/*showing news item from the same news archive*/

where news-lang1 and news-lang2 are pages where news readers are located.

I am trying to avoid creating separate news archives, because the language is the same, I just need to convert strings from Cyrillic to Latin with function I made.

I've used changelanguage extension.

Sorry for any inconvenience, but I wasn't sure which subforum to use, so I wrote it here. I will create new thread.

Thanks.
