Different domain for every language
« on: February 26, 2014, 08:59:35 pm »

Is it possible to apply multiple domains to the site translated with jDiction so it would have different domains for different translations?

What I mean is:
I have a page domain.com, which I translated to different languages with jDiction so now I have:
domain.com/en/
doman.com/fr/
domain.com/es
etc.

But I bought also country specific domains:
domain.fr and
domain.es
And I want them to cover the real address of the site which is domain.com/xx/.

Is it at all possible? I've tried the component called Virtual Domains, but with no luck.
Has anyone done something like that?

The problem is that Joomla doesn't support multidomains very well.

And jdiction or better the joomla native language plugin has to support this and thats not possible atm.

the only thing you can do is to frame the content from the country domains so that you only see domain.fr/ without any url

I thought of "ifaming" this, but I figured there would be a huge problem with this solution - the address in the adrdress bar won't change a bit when I click around the site. Isn't that right?

Check Multi-language parked domain http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/languages/multi-lingual-content/25186. It could help.

redirecting a language to a special domain is not the problem, removing the /en/ and the /el/ is the problem.

The Plugin rewrites the urls to:

http://radio-expert.com/en/my-page-en

http://radio-expert.gr/el/my-page-el

so /el is stell set for the .gr domain, but I will consider to integrated this feature.
