The language switching is working now. But when I strip the url of the
language request it doesn't seem to recognise the cookie and goes
straight to the condition <cfelseif server_name is
"www.111translations.com">
Shawn
<!--- set the default language or change the language when selected --->
<!--- remove language from querystring --->
<cfset query_string = ReplaceNoCase(query_string,'language=english','')>
<cfset query_string = ReplaceNoCase(query_string,'language=french','')>
<cfif isdefined('URL.language')>
<!--- if language is set by a link set request var and cookie to
that language --->
<cfset request.language=URL.language>
<cfset cookie.language = url.language>
<cfelseif isdefined('cookie.language')>
<!--- otherwise if cookie exists, use its value --->
<cfset request.language=cookie.language>
<cfelseif server_name is "www.111translations.com">
<!--- do you really need this ? yep, I have three domains for 3
different countries. Will add later. --->
<cfset request.language="english">
<cfelse>
<cfparam name="request.language" default="french">
</cfif>
