Using Version 7.66 SP3

 

Can anyone tell me what "rdr=true" in the URL refers to?

It's not one of the common parameters that I've seen before. What kind of page are you looking at? Under what circumstances does this parameter appear? Is this idle curiosity or is this parameter causing a problem on your page?

Thats part of the problem, I don't know.

 

The situation is that I admin a site that uses two official languages (being Canadian) and users should be able to switch between both languages seemlessly.

 

To date that has not been the case and its causing massive problems with our public affairs department.

 

What happens is that a user will be navigating through the site in Canadian French and switch to Canadian English and then switch back to Canadian French. So far no problems... the problem starts when they hit the browsers "back" button. It defaults them back to Canadian English which is the default language of the site. The only noticeable difference in the URL is the parameter "rdr=true".

 

Any ideas?

I've not done much multilingual work, so I'm not sure why the param is appended to the url.

If the parameter is removed from the url, does the language correct itself?

I've run into this issue as well. I'm not exactly sure why the param is added to the querystring, but I've found that if you explicitly define the language in your master page or page template that the rdr won't cause any problems.

        Dim lapi As New LanguageAPI()
        lapi.Page = Me.Page
        lapi.SiteLanguageID = 3084
        lapi.Fill()

Let me know if this helps.
