Language Switching Problem(internalization)

[former_member224941]

Dear Experts,

We are facing the one the major issue in portal 7.4 for internalization.

below are details :

1)We created one custom application for switching languages like English/Hindi

2)By default we gave the English portal then user click on Hindi its going to Hindi portal again user click on English its not redirecting to English portal

3) we implemented the code like below:

.JSP code:

<%

// Get the request

IPortalComponentRequest currentRequest = (IPortalComponentRequest)

pageContext.getAttribute
(javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext.REQUEST);

// Get the Parameter
String language = currentRequest.getParameter("language");
String cURL = currentRequest.getParameter("cURL");

// Invalidate the old session
currentRequest.getServletRequest().getSession(true).invalidate();

// Here we prepare the 2 URL's for English and Hindi
// So that the user can be retained on the same page
// And not directed to the home page
%>

<form action="#" method="post" name="hid">
<input type = "hidden" name="urlhid" value=<%=cURL%>>
<%

// Check the parameter and accordingly re direct
    if (language.equalsIgnoreCase("English"))
    {
%>
            <script language = "JavaScript">
            var currentURL=document.hid.urlhid.value;
            var targetURLEnglish;
          
              if(currentURL.match("NavigationTarget") == null)
              {
                if(currentURL.match("guest_user") == null)
                    {
                        targetURLEnglish=currentURL+"?guest_user=english"
                      targetURLEnglish = targetURLEnglish.replace(/_hi/,"_en");
                      }
                  else
                      {
                      targetURLEnglish=currentURL
                      targetURLEnglish = targetURLEnglish.replace(/Hindi/,"english");
                      targetURLEnglish = targetURLEnglish.replace(/_hi/,"_en");
                      }
              }
              else
              {          
                          targetURLEnglish=currentURL+"&guest_user=english";
          
              }
            
            window.top.location.href=targetURLEnglish;
            window.title="My portal"
            </script>
<%  
    }
    if (language.equalsIgnoreCase("Hindi"))
    {
%>
            <script language = "JavaScript">
            var currentURL=document.hid.urlhid.value;
            var targetURLHindi;
          
              if(currentURL.match("NavigationTarget") == null)
              {      
                  if(currentURL.match("guest_user") == null)
                      {
                        targetURLHindi=currentURL+"?guest_user=Hindi"
                        targetURLHindi = targetURLHindi.replace(/_en/,"_hi");
                        }
                  else
                      {
                      targetURLHindi=currentURL
                      targetURLHindi = targetURLHindi.replace(/english/,"Hindi");
                      targetURLHindi = targetURLHindi.replace(/_en/,"_hi");
                      }
                    
              }
              else
              {          
                          targetURLHindi=currentURL+"&guest_user=Hindi"
                        
              }
            
            window.top.location.href=targetURLHindi;
            window.title="My portal"
            </script>
<%
    }

%>

4) we are accessing  language from below URL in portal :

//language
function Go(cLang)
{
var currentURL = window.top.location.href;
window.top.location.href="https://answers.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.portal.AnonymousLanguageSwitch.ChangeLanguage?language="+cLang+"&cURL="+currentURL;
}

I did the lots of R&D i didn't get any result,Please kindly help me  to solve this issue.

Dear Detlev,

Thanks for your inputs,

I tried another way for language switching ,using standard masthead component (com.sap.portal.navigation.masthead) from portal.I modified that component for language  drop down  ,in that drop down whatever the locales added in server all the languages are displaying,but here my targeting language Hindi is not getting but i checked locales in server level Hindi locale added in source and target languages.

Kindly suggest and help  i missed any steps .

Hi Apps,

On a first view, I cannot see any real difference in the switch from Hindi to English (not working) compared with the switch from English to Hindu (working).

So I would suggest to debug the implementation; first find details about "again user click on English its not redirecting to English portal". What does this mean in detail? Is a request sent at all? If yes, what URL target is coming compared to the expected? You might also debug the JS code (and inspect before if the JS code in the HTML page is the one expected).

If you would implement the ChangeLanguage component not as JSP but as AbstractPortalComponent (rendering the JS part from within there), you could also debug the Java code so far on server side.

It's a bit hard to analyze this statically with the code given (maybe I overlooked something), but with some debugging it should be very easy at least to analyze WHAT happens...

Dear Detlev,

This is a external facing  portal, we are giving the Language switching (Hindi/English) option for users.

When user selecting the hindi or english  portal at that time urls are:

For Hindi:

1)http://myportal:50100/irj/portal/anonymous?guest_user=Hindi

For English:

2)http://myportal:50100/irj/portal/anonymous?guest_user=english

when page load for the first time and user click  on Hindi on first attempt then portal contents changes to Hindi, but again user click on English  then portal contents not changing to English.

At that time when we clearing cookies and sessions in browser then its working fine. Here Sessions are not working properly.

Any another way to achieve this. Kindly help me.
