Change language url from zh to cn

Post by azren » Fri Oct 31, 2014 6:47 am

Hi,

Is it possible to change the language url from http://www.example.com/zh/ to http://www.example.com/cn/ for Chinese language? If its possible how should I go about doing this.

By the way the site has 2 languages installed en-GB and zh-CN and as for en-GB the url is http://www.example.com/en which is ok and don't need changes.

Thank you in advance for your kind help.

Best regards,
az

en for english, zh for chinese.
if they work well with all content, no need to change.

Hi Coding1,

It does works well for all contents at this moment but customer would like to maintain http://www.example.com/cn/ the same as their old site (custom cms) which was recently migrated to Joomla.

Thank you.

I don't get what you mean by this... Where can exactly can I change from zh to cn?

If I go to Extensions -> Plug-in Manager, and search for language I can only see the following:
* System - Language Filter
* System - Language Code

Any idea?

Thank you.

Best regards,
az

Edit your Chinese Content Language in the Language Manager and change the URL Language Code to "cn"
administrator/index.php?option=com_languages&view=languages
