Hi there

I'm working now with the following configuration:

Joomla 2.5.8
K2 2.6.2
Joomsef 4.3.0
K2 Joomsef plugin 3.0.12
Falang 1.1.7

I have a bilimngual site in English & Spanish. The urls begin to generate just fine, but after a while some strange urls begin to appear, that include wrong language codes. For example, the good urls for the books section are

/en/books and /es/libros

but then suddenly, this one appears: /es_es/books

It's strange, because it seems it's using the "long code" for Spanish, but then the title is in English. The original URL has the es_ES value in the language parameter

index.php?option=com_k2&id=1969&lang=es_ES&view=item

After a while I get hundreds of urls with the es_es prefix.

Any ideas?

Hi,

The original URLs should only contain the short language code. Enable the URLs Source Tracing in JoomSEF's Configuration on the Advanced tab and delete the wrong URLs. When they're created again information about their origin will be stored along with them. Please post me that information. Thank you.

Thanks, Dajo. Here are some examples:

Hi,

It seems that the problem is caused by search engine bots passing the wrong language code in the URL and JoomSEF then uses it to generate the URLs.

We'll fix this in next version of JoomSEF.

Great. Looking forward to it :-)

I thought this would be fixed with the 4.3.1 version (accoriding to the changelog), but the problem persists...
