How to set Language Selection with SH404SEF enabled - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hello,

i have problem site.

my site has 2 languages, english , chinese, english default page. using sh404sef, know have disable "system - language filter" plugin if sh404ef activated, problem if disable "system - language filter", there no place set language selection, , every new visitor go site example http://www.mysite.com (english version), browser redirected http://www.mysite.com/zh (chinese version), , if click en language flag, goes english version correctly without redirection (http://www.mysite.com).

so worried if penalized search engines? knows how fix problem please? thanks.

i think had same problem using sh404sef 3.6.0.1422 "multilingual support". page automatically redirected joomla default language if put correct language prefix in url. after change language "language switcher" module desired language.

i found out because sh404sef choosing language automatically based on users browser language. wanted have language show based on url.. ex: lang1.mysite.com / lang2.mysite.com.

i don't know best answer found out this post can disable automatic browser language detection editing file:

administrator/components/com_sh404sef/classes/router.php

and changing line (remember backup):

code: select all

if ($langfilterparams->get('detect_browser', 1))

to

code: select all

if ($langfilterparams->get('detect_browser', 0))

i have no idea if best way this.. couldn't find setting , getting tired of fixing this. guess need every time update sh404sef. version rather old don't know how newer versions.

btw. don't think has effect on google/seo. did notice majesticseo saying urls language prefixes redirecting default language.. don't kind of behavior.
