Hi Does Discourse support live switching language via URL, like discourse.vn/?lang=vi ? I’m asking this because our main website, www.easyuni.my allows user to select language in URL, like www.easyuni.my/id/ (for Indonesian). We will add Discourse as our forum, linking to it from the main site, and try to maintain the language preference via URL. How can we achieve that?

If you enable it in site settings, users can set the UI to any supported language in their user preferences.

Yes, but what I means is to switch on-the-fly via URL. The scenario is: If user visit my website www.easyuni.my/en/ (in English), our menu will point to discourse.easyuni.my/?lang=en. If user visit my website www.easyuni.my/id/ (in Indonesian), our menu will point to discourse.easyuni.my/?lang=id so that user still get his preferred language when he transfer from main website to forum.

+1 for this feature. Discourse should also check the location of the user and switch to the native language automatically.

No, that breaks down when multiple languages are spoken in a country. Auto switch via querystring might be possible, you would be forcing a pref on the user.

I’m about to organize a Q/A Session between Ukrainian and English speaking goat farmers. It would be nice to give the link to the target topic with the correct language in URL, i.e. ?lang=en for our English colleagues. So, +1 from me for this feature.

Will there be different content for each language? Ideally, how would you like this feature to work?

We will translate questions and answers in the session topic, so that there are both Ukrainian and English versions of the same message. Will just separate them visually somehow.

If you put both the original and the translation in the same topic, maybe it would be possible to show/hide content based on the user’s locale. Something like this: GitHub - wooorm/franc: Natural language detection · GitHub could be used for language detection within the topic. Sections that are not in the user’s target language could be initially collapsed and then expanded for users who wanted to see the content in both languages. edit: Since you know the languages you are dealing with ahead of time you could just wrap the text for each language in a div so that Ukrainian sections would have and English sections and then show/hide those sections based on the user’s locale.

How would I make one section collapsed by default, but not the other? Also, which Discourse feature would I use to make sections?

I’m just thinking about how to do it, It would have to be done in a plugin. Ultimately, a translation could be a type of reply. Creating it would wrap the content in a div with a class to indicate its language. [图片] I’ll try out a few things and get back to you.
