No Language OR Wrong Language Redirection - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

i have joomla 2.5 , installed languages (en & ar) & sef enabled
and default language (ar)
the problem server redirect me mydomain.com/ar
even if typed without lang (mydomain.com)
or wrong language or wrong url (mydomain.com/es or mydomain.com/plaplpl or mydomain.com/zeze/fofo)
it redirects (mydomain.com/ar/es or mydomain.com/ar/plaplpl or mydomain.com/ar/zeze/fofo)

so want if no string after domain redirects default lang (mydomain.com) -> (mydomain.com/ar) correct
but if there wrong string after domain or wrong lang code or not installed lang code raise 404 error without rewrite url
with appending default lang code
is possible ?


thanks.

i believe have enabled plug-in "system - language filter". in plug-in there option "remove url language code". choose yes option.

be informed due cookie setting, after first time when visit site, default language last seen. so, may have clear browser cache delete cookies if want test how things happen.

it not clear how site built.

i suggest following:

(a) in module manager, enable administrator module "multilanguage status". once enabled, click on link "multilanguage stautus" appears in status bar.

take copy of pop-up window shows , post in reply.

(b) hope following instructions provided @ http://multilingual-joomla-demo.cloudaccess.net/.
