Cool.
Just my head is aching of descisions of how to split russian pages with english.
I suppose this can be very useful to make language dependent pages, not only TOS.
Hello to Astana  :-)

Hello Radioactive,
very nice idea, thank you for developing it.

Pardon my question but I got lost following your simple instructions. I wonder if a change in versions is to blame or my own stupidity.  I am running v2.5.5 (Commercial edition)

My footer.tpl does not show the <a > tag you mention below. What I show is:

            <div id="footer">
                <!-- IF settings.enable_tellfriend OR settings.enable_openinviter -->
                    {anchor:url1="invitefriends/",url2="index.php?m=invitefriends",name="core|menu_invitefriends"} |
                <!-- ENDIF -->
                <!-- IF settings.enable_feedback -->
                    {anchor:url1="contactus/",url2="index.php?m=contactus",name="core|menu_contactus"} |
                <!-- ENDIF -->
                {pages:tag="footer",cache_time="10"}
                <!-- CREDIT LINE: UNAUTHORIZED REMOVAL WILL VOID LICENSE -->
                <!-- IF settings.enable_poweredby_link -->| {app_copyright}<!-- ENDIF -->
            </div>

In fact, the only place that the <a> tag seems to be located in this version is in the file account_register.tpl  and looks like this:

                                <!-- IF is_tos -->
                                    <dt><label for="field_tos">{lang:"register","accept_tos"} <a target="_blank" href="{virtual_path}{ifelse:settings.fancy_urls,"1","page/tos/","index.php?m=pages&p=tos"}">{lang:"register","tos"}</a></label></dt>
                                    <dd><select id="field_tos" class="select" name="tos">{dropdownlist:top.yesnobox,registration_tos}</select>{hint:key="tos"}</dd>
                                <!-- ENDIF -->

I have updated THAT file to test the scenario but then in the footer I get all translations I've done which at this stage are only three test languages: German, Spanish and English and it looks like this:

Invite friends | Contact us | Allgemeine Nutzungsbedingungen | Términos y Condiciones | Terms of service

Do you know if there is a way to hide the other languages and only show the language that is currently active?

Thanks!
Richard

PS: German and Spanish languages are enabled in CP, System language is English in CP, language override privileges are OK in CP for member groups and English is chosen language in profile settings for my test profile.

Hey mates,
This tutorial was made long time ago, at that time we didn't have {session.language} variable which can be used instead of {lang:"core","lang"} and returns 'english' and we also didn't have nice {pages:} extension that displays page links with certain tag. All your TOSes has tag footer that's why all multi-lingual tos links displayed. What I suggest is to delete {pages:} extension call and replace it with:
<a href="{virtual_path}page/{session.language}_tos/">{lang:"custom","tos"}</a>
OR if you don't have pretty urls enabled
<a href="{virtual_path}index.php?m=pages&p={session.language}_tos">{lang:"custom","tos"}</a>

1. Make sure you have page labels like english_tos, french_tos etc (not old fashioned en_tos, fr_tos)
2. Add appropriate translation for "tos" key to your lang.custom.php

Regards,
Ramil

thanks ramil ... you did the trick for me

I´m "lazy" and will save little time so I did it this way instead

<a href="{virtual_path}page/{session.language}_tos/">{lang:"core","menu_tos"}</a>

I will explain little how it´s works: this is only an example for french languages:

the translation for terms of service is in /includes/languages/french/lang.core.php

"menu_tos" =>
"Conditions d'utilisation",

go to: ---> cp ---> content ---> manage page ---> general ---> add page

make a new page and set the label to french_tos
(it must be the same name you have on your languages file)

and only fill in:

name: Conditions d'utilisation
label: french_tos
page: vous écrire des termes du texte de service ici...

and submit so you save your work

wish you good luck ! hope the guide will help you !

and thanks ramil for your tutorials how to do it ...
