Customer request to set default language in URL

[EVerheggen]

Hi,

For my client I made a one language tour in Dutch, some time ago.

Now I added a second language, English in the last update of the tour: https://www.360-bedrijfspresentatie.nl/ ... 023-02-09/

Since the original tour language is Dutch, my (Dutch) client (with a browser in Dutch) sees the Dutch version, even on their English pages. The question is to set the default tour language to English by adding &lang=en to the URL (or something similar).

One solution I can make myself is to change the tour language to English after config loaded. But that would mean that the client has two versions of the tour.

An other solution would be to swap all texts and have English as primary language. But that is too much work....

Is there a way to choose the starting language with some additional characters in the URL?

Best regards,

Erik Verheggen

Hi Erik,
You can use a query.
Please see the attached project.

It has a text variable called lang, the query sets the variable value.
The code element has a Config Loaded then using Expert mode uses the variable placeholder.
So when you add either de or en at the end the tour will open using that language.

End the URL with
?lang=de

or

?lang=en
