Sitecore seems to be doing something weird with the language variable in this Context object. If I load the CMS page using url ?sc_Lang=ru-RU (get the Russian version of my site), by the time it returns to my MVC controller, reset will return to en
public PartialViewResult Navigation() {
I know that sitecore does install this at some point, because if I add the HTTP pipeline, I can see Sitecore.Context.Language as ru-RU :
public class LanguageResolver { public void Process(Sitecore.Pipelines.HttpRequest.HttpRequestArgs args) {
Registered:
<processor type="Sitecore.Pipelines.HttpRequest.ItemResolver, Sitecore.Kernel"/> <processor type="namespace.LanguageResolver,RR.Web.Sc.Extensions" patch:source="Languages.config"/>
as recommended in the sitecore blog post
I did a bit of work at sitecore dlls, and I noticed that Sitcore.Context.Language is basically a wrapper for HttpContext.Current.Items["sc_Language"] . When I check this, I see the same results (i.e. in the pipeline it is ru-RU in the en controller)
So somewhere, it turns this HttpContext Item into "en" .
As an experiment, I dumped a new variable into the Items collection. Then I can see it again (in the correct state) in the controller, so the Items collection will be correctly passed to the controller.
I did not initially develop this site, but I do not see anywhere in the code base that modifies this language variable.
Has anyone else experienced this? Anything I missed? What do I need to configure, check?
Sitecore docs (as usual) are pretty sad in this matter.
To follow the comment from @jammykam:
I see a cookie lang Response Set-Cookie: redrow#lang=ru-RU; path=/ Set-Cookie: redrow#lang=ru-RU; path=/ and languages are configured:
