Blog app on a multi language page

Hi,

I have an issue on a multi-language page in which I used Blog app for writing news articles.

The site has two languages defined, each language page files sits in its own language directory. ../language1/ ../language2/

I have defined and created a perch page template for displaying blog posts and created different sections which filter posts for each language.

I have defined a path for blog posts in Perch settings page, blog section. ../language1/category/post.php?s={postSlug}

Every new article generated is displayed on that page. And that works fine for one language. When I switch to another language (../language2/) and click on an article, the url gets messed up because it uses path from first language. Also, because there is one-page template, navigation also switch to default language.......

Is there any workaround for this problem?

Thanks

You can add other variables to the post URL, including your field for language selection.

So instead of

/language1/category/post.php?s={postSlug}

you could have something more like

/{lang}/category/post.php?s={postSlug}

That doesn't seem to work because I have created physical folders for languages.... This is the site structure:

/css/
/images/
/js/
/perch/
/language1/
/language2/
index.php - landing page for language selection

I don't think that should be a problem.
