How can i make other language default instead of english

 

In The Languages Support - Page Names

Default language homepage URL is same as root URL?

I Have Selected -> No - Root URL performs a redirect to: /name/

Then I Edited my homepage -> Setting -> Name

I Have 2 Language

English -> Default left Blank

Arabic -> ar

What I Can Do To Make The ar Is The Default One

I Tried to add arabic language name in the english field

the website is redirected to /ar/ and everything work ok

but when i click on english in homepage its not redirect to english because i changed it to ar

whats the right way to make website redirect to /ar/ without affecting english language

Language for users could changed via ->profile->language

your-domain.com/processwire/profile/

there you could change the language for the logged in user.

or you asking for a multilanguagepage-setup?

I suppose you use the Multi language module and LanguageSupportFields.

To have another language as default then English, I did a couple things to get it properly working:

It depends also if you want your backend also in your default language or only the frontend.

1. Go to Setup - Languages and upload your default language files (in your case Arabic) to the default language if you want the backend also in Arabic.

2. Change the title of the default language, in your case to "Arabic".

3. Add in your case English as extra language and name it "en"

4. Go to Acces - Users - Guest and set the language to "Arabic"

In this solution visitors access pages first without /ar/ for the Arabic version and with /en/ if they want the English version.

As I recall you have to be carefull changing the default language. You can loose texts on pages you already added.
