Redirection issue

Post by interacoustics » Wed Jun 01, 2016 1:36 pm

Hello joomla forum,

We are having an issue where we have different langauge domains and one joomla installation with multilingual setup.

The issue is that all sites now are located like eg.

http://www.website.com
http://www.website.com/es

but if we have some products listed eg. below.

http://www.website.com/product
http://www.website.com/es/product

http://www.website.es/product does not link to http://www.website.com/es/product

Please help.

below are URLs so you can see yourself.

http://www.interacoustics.com/at235 -> default language.
http://www.interacoustics.com/es/at235 - spanish installed language

http://www.interacoustics.es/at235 -> want it to redirect to -> http://www.interacoustics.com/es/at235 and not to http://www.interacoustics.es/at235

thank you

You should add a global redirect to your .htaccess file (under the "es" website). The redirect should simply consist of the following:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.[your-domain-name].com/es/$1 [R=301,L]
