I am using custom domains for my languages, .es and .com which is working fine. The only caveat being that URLs for .es also display under .com with the Spanish content. Is there a way to force Joomla to redirect to the correct domain (.es) if the real URL has lang=es for example or vice-versa for english?

Hello,

could you please give some examples? I am a bit lost in your explanation.
In general, JoomSEF sets the doman based on "currently" active language - that is if I have es as my language set now and .es domain assigned to Spanish language, the links should be generated with .es, with exception of link leading to English content - lang=en, which should have .com (considering .com domain is configured for English language).

I have the following:

www.somewhere.com/english-url
www.somewhere.es/spanish-url

but the following also work:

www.somewhere.com/spanish-url
www.somewhere.es/english-url

it works fine in spanish and keeps the site in spanish... same with english... i just run into this issue, any ideas?

The fact the URL work is not a problem.
The problem with being unable to switch language may be due to settings of JoomFish - related configuration. Make sure that if you do not have "always add language" on, there is no default language set.

Switching language isn't a problem. It appears that there is an inherent flaw in the SEF module for JoomFish. From an SEO standpoint, duplicate content is a bad thing. JoomFish and your SEF module enable URLs extensions to be valid under every domain on the site. The URL should have a second requirement tied to a domain. Another example is now surfacing.

We do not use a filename for our "home page". We just use www.domain.com/ or www.domain.es/. If we use your SEF module for titles and meta tags we cannot duplicate the blank "SEF URL" because you have a unique index constraint on the "SEF URL" meaning a URL is only valid once.

jan - are you able to provide any more details? this poses a major problem and requires that each URL be unique to the language...

is there a solution that would allow us to use the same URL for multiple languages such as the homepage issue that i outlined above?
