On the bottom of the test page I can see

*Cookie Variables:*
CFADMIN_LASTPAGE=/CFIDE/administrator/datasources/index.cfm
CFID=1401
CFTOKEN=52656740
LANGUAGE=english
__utma=96992031.1811583285.1212651992.1212651992.1212651992.1
__utmz=96992031.1212651992.1.1.utmccn=(direct)|utmcsr=(direct)|utmcmd=(none)


Do this mean that there is a cookie though? Never thought of that.

Does the cookie exist?

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">

<!--- 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>

Here is how I think it should be based on what u have shown, but I think you 
should also be looking at the code that uses the request.language variable, 
just setting them will not do anything by itself if nothing is using it.

<cfparam name="request.language" default="french">
<!--- remove language from querystring --->
<cfset query_string = ReplaceNoCase(query_string,'language=english','')>
<cfset query_string = ReplaceNoCase(query_string,'language=french','')>

<cfif server_name is "www.111translations.com">
<!--- do you really need this ? --->
<cfset request.language="english">
</cfif>

<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>
</cfif>

I'm hurtin' here. Something still really wrong.

<cfif isdefined('request.language')>
<cfset query_string = ReplaceNoCase(query_string,'language=english','')>
<cfset query_string = ReplaceNoCase(query_string,'language=french','')>

<cfelseif server_name is "www.111translations.com">
<cfparam name="request.language" default="english">

<cfelseif isdefined('cookie.language')>
<cfset request.language = cookie.language>

<cfelse>
<cfparam name="request.language" default="french">
</cfif>

<cfif isdefined('URL.language')>
      <cfset cookie.language=URL.language>
<cfset query_string = ReplaceNoCase(query_string,'language=english','')> <cfset query_string = ReplaceNoCase(query_string,'language=french','')> 
</cfif>

Well firstly I will point out that u get an error on the page as cookie.english 
does not exist
Which is probably because this bit of code doesn't make sense
<cfelseif server_name is "www.111translations.com <http://www.111translations.com>"> 
<cfset request.language = cookie.english>
<cfparam name="request.language" default="english">
<cfelse>
<cfset request.language = cookie.french>
<cfparam name="request.language" default="french">
</cfif>

Surely it should be

<cfelseif server_name is "www.111translations.com">
<cfparam name="request.language" default="english">
<cfelse>
<cfparam name="request.language" default="french">
</cfif>

But request.language wont be set by a cfparam if it already exists.

I would suspect that your page is not changing because it relies on the cookie, 
which hasn't been set until after the language has been set and the page has 
been reloaded. So you need to set and use the request variable first so that it 
is applied before you render the page, then assign it to the cookie.

I'm having trouble getting the right behavior when setting the language in our site.
on the index.cfm page I have a choice between english and french (upper right). When I click on it, it seems to request the language but the language only changes when I click again or refresh the page. 

the code behind the language links is:
<cfoutput> <cfif request.language is "french">
<p><a href="#script_name#?#query_string#&language=english" >English</a><br /> <a href="#script_name#?#query_string#&language=french" class="active">Fran&ccedil;ais</font></a></p> 
 <cfelse>
<p><a href="#script_name#?#query_string#&language=english" class="active">English</a><br /> <a href="#script_name#?#query_string#&language=french">Fran&ccedil;ais</font></a></p> 
 </cfif> </cfoutput>

I have a seperate file act_setlanguage.cfm:
<!--- set the default language or change the language when selected --->
<cfif isdefined('cookie.language')>
<cfset request.language = cookie.language>
<cfelseif server_name is "www.111translations.com <http://www.111translations.com>"> 
<cfset request.language = cookie.english>
<cfparam name="request.language" default="english">
<cfelse>
<cfset request.language = cookie.french>
<cfparam name="request.language" default="french">
</cfif>

<cfif isdefined('URL.language')>
      <cfset cookie.language=URL.language>
<cfset query_string = ReplaceNoCase(query_string,'language=english','')> <cfset query_string = ReplaceNoCase(query_string,'language=french','')> 
</cfif>
the testing site is here: www.111translations.com <http://www.111translations.com> 

cheers,
Shawn
