Hi,
My multilanguage website getting along perfectly (a lot of thanks to Forummembers) One problem however.
In default.asp the user chooses a language, a session is started "Locale", and the language persists. Now, if the user bookmarks a page and opens it another day, then there is no session and therefore he gets the default language.
My question is: is there a way to redirect a user to "default.asp" if there is no session?
Can you give a code example in ASP?
Thanks,
Rene

R, just for interest sake - doesn't redirecting the user from a bookmark kinda of defeat the object of the excercise? Maybe a better solution would be to change how you remember the user's language a more persistent cookie perhaps?

Hi TheunisP,
You are right.
However, the problem with cookies is that they get "cleaned up" more and more (anti-spyware etc. at least on my computer). The website is not really huge, so to bookmark a specific page is not really neccesary. (At least I hope not). So the only solution I see here is to redirect to "choose language" page, and from there they can enter. Do you have the solution for me....
Thanks,
Rene

If Session("locale") = "" Then
Redirect = "Default.asp"

Rene,
The above code should work. But I also recommend using cookies together with this so that people don't always get redirected to the main page if they already have the appropriate cookie. There is an option in CCS to use cookies for the language selection, so you don't need to do anything special.
