Hi,

 

Been busting my head over this.

The menu's in cs-cart are multilanguage, however, the links cannot be changed PER language.

 

I have a dutch menu, which needs to point to the url /NL/category

In english this url needs to point to /EN/category

 

This doesn't work, the name field translates fine though.

 

I've tried setting up 2 menu's in layout, but the layouts will stay the same in each language layout so that doesn't work. Any idea how to solve this?

What kind of menu do you use - manually configured or generated automatically?

I have tried both Megamenu and the default menu *dropdown horizontal*

If the menu items are done correctly, they should track language.  Note that 'EN' is an invalid language code where 'en' is correct.

So a menu item for en/this-category/this-file.html would be translated to: nl/deze-categorie/deze-file.html.

So do you use menu from Design -> Menus ?

I'll try this. the problem i simply had was that i change the language when editting the menu. Then put in /en/category.

That didn't stick, i'll get back asap.

Thank you for your tip!

 

The way it works is putting in a url in this format in the field url: "categories.view?category_id=categoryID|fn_url"

This translates correctly and gets the correct CAT url for that language.

 

Thanks!

You shouldn't be manually addon the language.  This should be a "rules" function of the SEO module.  All you should enter is the leaf-node name (like my-category-name).  The SEO rules engine will add the appropriate paths, language codes, etc.  Please read the documentation on SEO for cs-cart.

Yes, that is the way it is designed to work.  Let fn_url do all the work for you of building the proper URL.
