Remove language attribute in URL for default language

Vote:
 

Hi,

I have a site that has only one language (Swedish). The customer wants to enable multiple languages (sv + en). My problem is that when I enable globalization with English as well as Swedish, suddenly I have to add /sv/ in the beginning of my path. When I try without the language part, I get an error.

Since this site is in production, there might be people who have bookmarks etc that will break if I enable globalization.

Is there a way to map the default language to URL:s without the 'sv' part?

I have tried this:



That didn't help me.

Swedish is set as Master language in my database.

Cheers, Josef

Have you tried removing the 'Web address prefix' for the 'en' language. You can find this by selecting a language on the "CMS/Admin/config/Manage Website Languages" page.

I have made this for 'sv' since it's Swedish I want to be default. I have even looked in the Episerver database in the languageBranch table and verified that the URL Segment is empty.

Thanks for your answer!

Not sure if this will help, but below is the site config for my development environment. I had to add the 'localhost:20001' line (our development url) for the default language without prefix to work. Our site has 6 languages and english is our default language (without prefix)

<siteHostMapping>

<siteHosts siteId="MysiteId">

<clear />

<add name="*" language="en-US" />

<add name="localhost:20001" />

</siteHosts>

</siteHostMapping>

Hi. Didn't work either. But I managed to solve the problem at last:

Admin > Manage Websites > Edit website > Host name > Culture > sv (this was left blank in my configuration).

Dankjewel =)
