I have a bilingual site that has the main menu pages in both languages, and the blog posts set to "language: All" since they are not translated.
However, when someone tries to direct-link to one of the blog posts (language: All), sometimes the browser/device automatically adds /en/ to the URL, resulting in a 404. For example http://www.digisam.se/index.php/hem/entry/diska-rullar-igang turn into http://www.digisam.se/index.php/hem/entry/diska-rullar-igang turns into http://www.digisam.se/index.php/en/hem/entry/diska-rullar-igang
I thought I had a simple solution to this: in Joomla's LanguageFilter just change "Language Selection for new Visitors" to Site language (I had set it to Browser Settings before). But it didn't work, the /en/ is still added = 404! This happens to visitors whom I suspect have their browsers/devices set to English as default language? Or is the problem to be found somewhere else?
As far as I can see, the difference between the blog posts and the 'normal' pages with a menu item attached is that EasyBlog adds the name of the menu option it is displayed under to the URL (in this case "hem". And there is no such thing as an English 'hem', just a 'home'.)
I set the blog post in question to 'Language: Swedish' but it doesn't show in the URL. So the link still goes to http://www.digisam.se/index.php/hem/entry/diska-rullar-igang
and since the language for the blog post itself isn't shown, then /en/ gets added and the link breaks..
Help! :O
