Hi, mostly (90%) websites are designed to include localization (made in php) folder like following: www.mywebsite.com/en/ www.mywebsite.com/de/ www.mywebsite.com/fr/ why do they not use only 1 folder and use dynamically PHP to change localization of website ?
who says the 'folders' (directories) en, de, fr et al actually exist?
has this something to do with search engine rating ?
amongst other things, it's also a way of passing along the requested translation with requiring cookies
thanks a lot, Al.
sorry but i miss the point here...
if we have http://ww.mywebsite.com/en/index.php, you mean that in fact it can be http://ww.mywebsite.com/index.php?lang=en. but in this case why and how is it possible to see http://ww.mywebsite.com/en/index.php in the adress bar of my browser ? i mean if i do not have access to apache :-) thx.
