Newby here!
I have an application that has pages that are translated. Clicking on
flags changes the language. That is working nicely, but, for the
‘guest’ area I would like to cache these pages as they never change.
My problem is that the page has the same url for all the languages.
I have an action that does this:
def set_lang
set_language(params[:language])
redirect_to(session[:current_page])
end
Then the page renders content based on the language set via
set_language.
By using routes is it possible to make the page cacher think the pages
are different? Perhaps by appending the current language to the front
of the url? (eg /en/controller/action). I am in over my head as far as
routing and how to adequately do this.
What I was thinking was this:
- default route sends user to /language/guest/welcome
- set language redirects to /language/(current page)
Would this work, and if so, how on earth do I code it!
Sorry for the rambling email… any insight or solutions most most
welcome!
