i´ve just created a Site in Salesforce. This Site shows my Survey visualforce.
What i want to have is a dropdown on the top right site where the Site guest user can change the language of the survey. But i dont know how to achieve this. Any help or suggestions are aprreciated.
Thanks in advance.
The normal way to get that value is by Accept-Language request header.
I think this is not possible to get by Apex.
//this is returning null
ApexPages.currentPage().getHeaders().get('Accept-Language');
A possible workaround could be to get it on VF using this technique in javascript
var language = window.navigator.userLanguage || window.navigator.language; //works on IE/CH/FF
if(language){
nowDoSomethingWithIt(language);
}else{
//other browsers gonna be a little tricky
$.ajax({
url: "http://ajaxhttpheaders.appspot.com",
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function(headers) {
language = headers['Accept-Language'];
nowDoSomethingWithIt(language);
}
});
}
Once you have the language you could rerender the picklist using a
@remoteAction
u have first to enable external sharing on the file level:

You can add to your page a url parameter called lang. Let's say your page is in german and english. your url will look like this: mySite.com/form?lang=de mySite.com/form?lang=en_us
On your visual force page you can add a parameter to your page tage called "language".
eg.
