Hi,

I would like to be able to populate a dropdownlist dinamically (with country/language), with the following requirements:

- The selection of a country/language, must go to www.xxxx.com/language/startpage (for the specified country).

- If I add another language to the xxxx website, it automatically must appear as an element of the dropdownlist.

- By default, the inicial starting page must depend on the IP of the connected client. For example, if I'm connecting from Italia, the initial starting page must go to

www.xxxx.com/it/startpage.

I've four qüestions about this issue:

1) Is it possible to accomplish such requirements?

2) if not, how do you suggest to implement such functionality?

3) Do you know some real episerver websites with such functionality?

Hi,

I think that you could use LanguageBranchRepository:

            var languageBranchRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ILanguageBranchRepository>();
            var languageBranches = languageBranchRepository.ListEnabled();
            foreach (var languageBranch in languageBranches)
            {
                
            }

This code returns all enabled languages.

Or you could use domain mappings. To get currently enabled languages you could use the code:

            var siteDefinition = SiteDefinition.Current;
            foreach (var hostDefinition in siteDefinition.Hosts)
            {
                //hostDefinition.Language
            }

The site definition contains host. And ech host have language.
