Problem with JoomFish

[inpictura]

I'm trying to get working SEF Advance with Joomfish.

Please help me to solve my problem.

I have this kind of url

Italian
dominio.com/Gatti/Persiano.html

English
dominio.com/Cats/Persian.html

Italian is the default language.
Italian urls work great, but with english ones, the links don't seems to work.

I have disabled $sef_fish.

Is it impossible to use JoomFish with SEF Advance?
Is it that the problem?

thanks

The lanhuage code must have 2 characters.

So the links should be:
dominio.com/en/Cats/Persian.html
dominio.com/it/Cats/Persian.html

Yes
I know it.

I mean... with SEF Advance i can't translate section and items' name.
Is this the problem?

If it's so... it's not correct to say that SEF Advance is JoomFish compatible, as i can't use JoomFish.

How can i make SEO if i can't translate links (and section, category, item name)?

let me know please, if i'm wrong.

No the URLs are not translated, instead the language code is added to URL.
It is still Joomfish compatible and you can use Joomfish. Of course you can translate your section and category names, but only the default name will be used in URL.
You can then access different language versions of your content with:
domain.com/en/page.html
domain.com/de/page.html
domain.com/fr/page.html

Thanks for your reply Emir.

mmm...

Maybe... the problem is not here.

Please leave me to give you an example.

My Joomla web site use two different languages with JoomFish.

Italian and English

I have the following STATIC CONTENT page:

English:
Page: Persian Cats.html

Italian:
Page: Gatti persiani.html

Italian is the default language.

SEF Advance is installed and $sef_fish is enabled.

SEF Advance make the following SEF URLS:

1) http://domain.com/it/gatti-persiani.html

and

2) http://domain.com/en/persian-cats.html

So ... 1) works and 2) doesn't work

is it wright?

but it works
http://domain.com/en/gatti-persiani.html

is it wright?

I'd like to have 2) working ... is it possible?

Gatti persiani.html and Persian Cats.html are static content elements, and they are added to a menu as link.
Maybe the problem is that SEF Advance don't work with static content URL translated?!?!

Let me know please.

Hi,

If Italian is default language you should get:
http://domain.com/it/gatti-persiani.html
http://domain.com/en/gatti-persiani.html

If you don't get that something is wrong.

Also don't add it as URL link to menu, add only one, italian version, as Link - Static Content.

i've found the problem, i think.

The problem appears when i translate (with joomfish) the content static item title.
Ok... i can translate menu item, and have http://domain.com/en/gatti-persiani.html but my title page still appear as "Site Name - Gatti Persiani".

My question is... is it possible to traslate content item title and have SEF URLS working?

This is an important issue thinking at SEO improvements.

thanks again

Yes you should be able to translate the menu item with joomfish and still get the working link:
http://domain.com/en/gatti-persiani.html

If you can't get it working send me the admin and FTP details and I will take a look, there might be a bug.

no no Emir... i can translate correctly the menu item.

No i get
http://domain.com/en/gatti-persiani.html

The problem is that the i can't translate the page <Title>.

Italian
http://domain.com/it/gatti-persiani.html
Title: Gatti Persiani

English
http://domain.com/en/gatti-persiani.html
Title: Gatti Persiani

Every two work, but i have this SEO problem.

I should like to have "Persian Cats" for english pages... but i think it's not possible at the momenti. Is it wright? Do you think to add this feature in the next releases?

I will check it and report back.

Hello,

I have checked this and it does change the page title for me.
When the default language is active the title is changed to static content title. When alternative language is active the title is changed to the translation of the static content title.

So make sure you have translated the content title, it might be that you missed to do just that assuming that it will change to translated menu name instead.

Does this problem also apply to other components?

I'm using mosets tree. I adjusted the mtree so that the directory categories
can be translated.

I know that it is not possible to show a translated version of the component string in the url-path.

unfortunately the translated mtree-directory-names don't show up in the url-path.

I wonder if this is an mtree problem or if the same issue dicussed in this thread applies here?

The default language is always in URL with only the prefix "en", "fr", "de" etc. changing.
