lang parameter in link is changed

[mds]

I have a website in two languages: nl and en, using the Languages and AutoDetect Languages modules for it.

There are two links on the page that lead to an external website which needs a lang parameter in the url "https://www.example.com/accounts/create/?lang=nl". The strange thing is that on the live website in Dutch (nl) the lang parameter is changed to 'en'. In English it's the other way around.

<?php echo "<a class='login' href='https://example.com/accounts/create/?lang=" . "$hreflang" . "&?utm_source=corporate_site&utm_medium=redirect&utm_campaign=redirect-corporate_site-start'>" ?>

 

I have also put the url without $hreflang (href="https//example.com/accounts/create/?lang=nl&?utm_source=corporate_site…") in a textarea field and it is also changed.

The $hreflang is defined before

	<?php

	// handle output of 'hreflang' link tags for multi-language
	// this is good to do for SEO in helping search engines understand
	// what languages your site is presented in
	foreach($languages as $language) {
		// if this page is not viewable in the language, skip it
		if(!$page->viewable($language)) continue;
		// get the http URL for this page in the given language
		$url = $page->localHttpUrl($language);
		// hreflang code for language uses language name from homepage
		$hreflang = $homepage->getLanguageValue($language, 'name');
		// output the <link> tag: note that this assumes your language names are the same as required by hreflang.
		echo "\n\t<link rel='alternate' hreflang='$hreflang' href='$url' />";
	}

And after that mention in the php-file

<?php
		foreach($languages as $language) {
			if(!$page->viewable($language)) continue; // is page viewable in this language?
			if($language->id == $user->language->id) {
				echo "";
			} else {
			$url = $page->localUrl($language);
			$hreflang = $homepage->getLanguageValue($language, 'name');			
				echo "<a hreflang='$hreflang' class='languagetoggle' href='$url'>$language->title</a";
			}
		}
	?>
            
            </nav>

Hi, 

The following code works for me:

foreach($languages as $language) {
	$selected = '';

    // if this page isn't viewable (active) for the language, skip it
    if(!$page->viewable($language)) continue;

    // determine the "local" URL for this language
    $url = $page->localUrl($language);

    // if language is current user's language, make it selected
    if($user->language->id == $language->id) {
    	$url = "#";
        $selected = " class='current'";
	}

    // output the option tag
    echo "<li$selected><a href='$url'><span>$language->title</span></a></li>";
    }

Hope this works for you too
