Translating aliases
« on: February 26, 2014, 08:41:06 pm »
I'm trying to translate the aliases for the menu items along the titles and for some reason I cannot make it work.
When there is no translation for the alias, the site runs smoothly on every language. But when I type an alias translation, I get 404 when I click this manu item on the translated webpage.

Examples:
alias not translated: http://interclick2.home.pl/projekty/steps/en/stopki-damskie-bezowe
alias translated: http://interclick2.home.pl/projekty/steps/en/black

I'd be very grateful if someone could help me with this.


Check info:
Joomla 3.2.2
Jdiction 1.0.1
    JDiction Plugin is enabled
    Languagefilter is enabled
    jDiction Database Driver is selected
COM_JDICTION_CHECK_TEST_LANGUAGE - Seam to be good
COM_JDICTION_CHECK_TEST_MODULE - Module is enabled
 It seams that there a no common mistakes.

alias handling is not tested very well, so its only experimental, but if you use only latin lowercase characters without space only with dash it should work.

Wow, that was fast reply:)

Anyway, as you see the alias is as simple as it could ever be - just "black", and it doesn't work.
Is there something I could try and do to make this experimental function work on my site?

Yeah, I kinda fixed it, but it's very strange and I think it may be some kind of bug.

As it turned out only those aliases that were translated into a single word displayed 404 when opened.
But if the alias is translated with a hyphen - it magically starts working.
For example http://interclick2.home.pl/projekty/steps/fr/blanc wasnt working, but http://interclick2.home.pl/projekty/steps/fr/blanc-fr is working just fine!

So I put hyphens into all the translations of aliases and now it seems to be working all right.
Very strange though...
