automatic and wrong redirect to english language

@beta2k – sorry – didn’t notice your question.

But if you read carefully – I already wrote it. Put the symbolic link in WordPress root (main) folder – and name it /de/ – it should link back to root.

That way anything called /de/ will automatically link back to the main site – resulting in it being found – as long as it’s no query.

For Queries I use the following rule in my nginx.conf:

location = /de/ {
if ( $arg_s2member_paypal_notify ) {
rewrite ^ / permanent;
}
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;

(this is the only query that fails for me).
If I were better in understanding nginx.conf regex – maybe I could also replace the symbolic links with regex rules – however I don’t understand yet how to get the rewrite working for locations that only virtually exist… As long as you don’t use s2member you should be fine though.

Make the German link crossroads-festival.org/de/programm/filme2015

sure, if i add the prefix de for the default language it will work ?? but is there a way to get it to work without adding the prefix for default language? technically it should be rather easy, because wordpress (or the plugin) only needs to make sure to use the english-slugs when adding the en prefix.. i would look into it myself, if someone could give me a hint on where the source code is for adding the language prefixes..

please can anyone help and point me to the code which is executed when qtranslate-x automatically prepends the language-prefix to an url based on the language cookie?

i now avoid my issue with an htaccess rule:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^((?!(?:en|de)).*)$ de/$1 [L,NC,R]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

this rule always adds de/ to the URL if no language is specified. if en/ is in the url, nothing happens. by doing so, i avoid any case of getting a 404.

please be aware that in the admin-interface in the settings of qtranslate the option Hide URL language information for default language. needs to be disabled. that means that there should be NO checkmark. else the redirect rule will cause an endless loop of redirects.
