Right. Each language's content should have a distinct URL, e.g. with the language code at the start of the path. If the user requests a URL that doesn't have a language code (e.g. from their bookmarks, or previous Google search results), redirect (permanently) them to corresponding the URL with the language code. How you choose which language to send them to is up to you -- based on a saved language preference for the logged in user, the browser's AcceptLanguage header, the country of the user's IP address, etc., or a combination of these. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
