[TYPO3] Multidomain - multilanguage

[Logi Huldar Gunnlaugsson]

Thanks for your prompt reply Dmitry. 

The problem is that I need to be working on the Top Level Domain (TLD)
but not subdomains. The site works like this at the moment:

www.mydomain.com/de/page -> would give me a page in german,
www.mydomain.com/fr/page -> would give me a page in french and
www.mydomain.com/en/page -> would give me the same page in english

What I need is to make it so that

www.mydomain.de/page -> would give me the german page above,
www.mydomain.fr/page -> would give me the french page but
www.mydomain.com/page -> would give me the english page

I suggested to my client to make this happen on subdomains
(de.mydomain.com, fr.mydomain.com etc.) but he is fixed on working only
with TLDs.

cheers,
Logi

I would do this as a combination of:
- mod_rewrite
- wildcard domains

I.e. I would setup virtual host with ServerAlias as "*.mydomain.com".
Then I would redirect anything that looks like "de.mydomain.com/my/url"
to "www.mydomain.com/de/my.url". This example uses realurl syntax but it
is easy to setup with L variable too.
