How to link between the same content page in different languages: (short summary: retrieve current url - replace "language folder" name - link to new url)
Switch between siblings
One way to switch between languages is to check if the currently active content has a sibling, and if it does, link to that. An example of how you could implement this:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %>
<%
CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request, response);
CmsObject cmso = CmsFlexController.getCmsObject(request);
String strPagename = cms.getRequestContext().getUri();
String homePage = "/playground/index.html";
Map<String, String> linksByLocale = new HashMap<String, String>();
linksByLocale.put("en", homePage);
linksByLocale.put("de", homePage);
linksByLocale.put("fr", homePage);
linksByLocale.put("nl", homePage);
try {
List<CmsResource> siblings = cmso.readSiblings(strPagename, CmsResourceFilter.ALL);
for (CmsResource sibling : siblings) {
String uri = cmso.getSitePath(sibling);
linksByLocale.put(cmso.readPropertyObject(sibling, "locale", true).getValue(), uri);
}
} catch (CmsException e) {
}
%>
<a href="<%= cms.link(linksByLocale.get("en")) %>">en</a>
<a href="<%= cms.link(linksByLocale.get("nl")) %>">nl</a>
<a href="<%= cms.link(linksByLocale.get("fr")) %>">fr</a>
<a href="<%= cms.link(linksByLocale.get("de")) %>">de</a>
The above could be saved as a separate jsp element and then included in your templates.
