Hello,

I would like to know how I could programmatically detect the current language in EPiServer and also how to change it assuming the entire site has been designd to display all its content from external language files.

Thank you

The PageData object has a list of the languages it exists in the property PageLanguages. You could also use the LanguageID property or LanguageBranch to check which language your current object is.

To change the language, you should take a look at Adam's blog post: http://blog.najmanowicz.com/2009/04/06/advanced-language-manipulation-tool-for-episerver/

Hi Lars and thank you for your response. I was wondering if its possible to introduce functionality to allow the user to change the language to their preferred language.

For example, this page http://news.bbc.co.uk/ allows users to change the language by clicking on one from the bottom of the left menu under 'Languages'.

any thoughts?

thanks
