We removed the MultilingualMiddleware. This removed the very ugly monkey patching of the reverse() function as well. As a benefit we now support localization of urls and Apphook urls with standard django helpers.
For django 1.4 more infos can be found here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/translation/#internationalization-in-url-patterns
If you are still running django 1.3 you are able to archive the same functionality with django-i18nurl. It is a backport of the new functionality in django 1.4 and can be found here:
What you need to do:
- Remove the MultilingualMiddleware from your settings.
- Be sure the LocaleMiddleware is in your settings.
- Be sure that the cms.urls is included in a i18n_patterns.
- Change your url and reverse calls to language namespaces. We now support the django way of calling other language urls either via '{% language %}' templatetag or via 'activate("de")' function call in views.
- reverse urls now return the language prefix as well. So maybe there is some code that adds language prefixes. Remove this code.
If you are running django 1.3.X you need to install django-i18nurls, if you want multilingual features. The cms.urls needs to be in a i18n url pattern.
simple_language_changerwill be removed in version 2.5. A bugfix makes this redundant as every non managed url will behave like this.
