Setting the language for a URL mapping

You might want to create a link to your portal in a specific language for portal users. In this case use a URL mapping and set it to the required language. The portal will display the addressed page and all subsequently selected pages in the locale that is defined in the URL mapping until a different language is explicitly requested.

About this task

To set the language for a URL mapping, use the XML configuration interface. Proceed by the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Create the URL mapping as required. To do this, use the URL mapping portlet.
  2. Export the URL mapping by using the XML configuration interface.
  3. To change the locale for the URL mapping, edit the resulting XML file and update the value for the locale attribute in the <portal-url> element as required.
  4. Import the URL mapping with the changed locale by running the updated XML script.

What to do next

Using the XML configuration interface is the only method for changing the locale of a URL mapping.
