What, why and how
We have just released a new version of widgets.opera.com where we have reworked our multi-language solution to support search engines. Instead of storing the user selected language in a cookie, which hides all languages except the default from search engines and indexers, we now have unique URLs for every language which the site is translated into.
In this blog post we present both the important client-side effects, and our technical Python and Pylons-based solutions on the servers. So if you are a user of widgets.opera.com, a developer who wants a similar site structure, or just passing by - read on!
