Can I Change The Language For Each Anonymous Individual?

Can I Change The Language For Each Anonymous Individual?
Sat, 7 Oct 2006 14:43:00 +0000
Hy,

I would like anonymous users to be able to select their preffered language using
just the language combo which would be available on the home page.
I have tried to update the anonymous profile when the new language was selected,
but nothing happened.
I think that this is due to the fact that anonymous users either do not have
profiles, or they have read only access to it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Vali

I think this is due to the fact that anonymous users do not have profiles, and
hence cannot set their language preference.

Also, here is a tool for localization. The downloads are also in the CS download
section...

I have already been using that tool to localize CommunityServer.

The problem I am facing is the following: I want users to be able to select a
language when viewing the web site without the need of loging in.

Example:

User A = CommunityServer.Users.GetAnonymousUser();

 

A.Profile.Language = AnonymousLanguage.SelectedItem.Value;

 

ok = CommunityServer.Users.UpdateUser(A); 

Thanks,
Vali

That doesn't make logical sense. 

I mean, there is only 1 "physical" anonymous user, so if 10 visitors
come to your site and each 1 keeps flipping the language, how is it going work
?

I think the first line could be replaced with:

User A = CSContext.Current.User;

But I am not sure that it will return the anonymous user, or an anonymous
visitor. Either the cases, I would even be happy if I could change the language
for the anonymous user.
