Translating 404 page

    I need help determining how to make the initial homepage language dynamically determined (not defined in the settings, nor defined by the user browser nor defined programaticaly by WPLANG). This is because we need to translate the 404 page and since it defaults from the static (defined in Settings > Reading in WP) it is always in the language of the option for Xili front-end settings.
    At the moment we are trying to implemente a solution that interpretes the desired language by the presence of a slug in the URI but we fail to pass it to the xili language object so it can output the correct translation for the text.

    Thank you!

    It is an extremely rare question about 404…

    xili-language don’t use cookies to memorise the current language of the visitor… One of the way (for the home page) is the language of the browser… (or other rules determined by algorithm via a personalised hook)…

    What happens if you redirect 404 to home page ?

    What do you want to display if 404 ?
    For better diagnosis, uses the support form in xili-language settings …

    What are the rules today ?

    If an URL is incorrect, WP generates the 404 error and so redirects to 404.php page available in theme folder.
    If the user browser is set by default to french, the 404 page will be displayed in french (like header, sidebar, footer)… or german or other preset languages…
