Multilingual under one domain, one section

Check out this site guys

you click on different languages and the URL stays identical. Now I am pretty sure they aren’t using TXP but the question begs to be asked… How the hell did they do that?

I tried contacting the webmaster but still no word back.

This is open to much speculation…. hmmmm

I guess I misunderstood you, but, the little flags do link to different urls, you don’t see them in the adress bar, because they are using framesets.

Other than that, you can use cookies if you want to pass parameters in requests that you do not wish to appear in the url.

Thats amazing Sencer. I had no ideas this could be accomplished with cookies.

The depth of information in web development is truly humbling sometimes.. just when I feel I am getting to learn something, I realize just how little I actually know.

Not sure, but looks like a pretty old Site. that hasn’t been updated.
(The animation doesn’t load at all in Safari)
Frame-sets have been abandoned long since as inefficient.
There is no way to get proper ranking and indexing, especially for Multi Lang content using this.

Yah..I finally poked around the code and realize jsut how “old-school” this really is. Looking at corporate sites, there really is no problem with URLS like www.domain.com/en in fact I think its preferable for SEO reasons
