I am wondering if this is possible. I have tried several different ideas but nothing has come close to working yet.

I have a Center Blocked static page on my home page. I would like to have multiple translations of this page and have the proper translation appear based on the Language setting of the user.

I have thought about setting up multiple pages and using that. I have also thought about having the entire translation in the language files but I can't figure out how to access those files from the Static Page.

If anyone has any ideas it would be very appretiated.


Thanks,

I think the language file might be the best approach. You will need to enable PHP on the static page first. Then, as a test, I did the following:

I placed the following in my english.php language file:



Then, created a static page like this:



For the settings on the php page, I have this:

PHP: execute php

That should do it.

Let me know how it works out.

Thanks!

It's much easier if you just install my multilingual hack (soon to be official).

Then you could use this PHP in the staticpage:


language() is taken from the hack.

Obviously that's the most simplistic way. I use more than one parameter for each language, do all sorts of things and only in the end inject everything into $text.

This works amazingly well. The only issue I had was adding the text for my welcome message to all the language files.

Thanks!
