Problems with cookies and translations
Greetings.
I'm very new with ZF so please excuse any ignorance on my part.
I'm developing a website that must have multiple languages for the user
to choose (namely: en_US and pt_BR). The idea is having icons present
in all pages that the user can click, resulting in:
1) Change the default locale for him.
2) Rendering the page where he's in again, so he sees that page in the
desired language "automatically".
3) Setting a cookie so the next time he visits the site the correct
locale is already set
Although this might sound pretty straightforward I must confess I'm
completely confused.
The translation works fine in the page's initial load (it loads in
English because my browser's locale is en_US), but it doesn't work after
the redirect. After the user clicks the icon (in this example, the icon
for pt_BR) the page loads without rendering the view and instead of the
translated strings I get only the indexes for the language array
('title', 'phone', 'explain', etc...).
I've also noticed that the cookie is not saved.
Here's how I'm trying to achieve this (this will be simple to show,
since the site has just a front page for now):
app/controllers/IndexController.php - Paste2: Next Generation Pastebin - Viewing Paste 146862
app/views/scripts/index/index.phtml - Paste2: Next Generation Pastebin - Viewing Paste 146866
(BTW, the registry is being set in my bootstrap).
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
TIA,

Nothing jumps out as wrong with your code. At least with regard to the cookies, I'm not really up on the translation stuff. But if the cookie isn't being set, then nothing else will work.
Are you perchance running on localhost? I believe some (all?) browsers won't accept cookies from localhost, there is a comment to that effect on the setcookie() manual page.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
I didn't knew about the localhost restriction (yes, I'm testing at localhost). Anyway, I've itried uploading the site to it's production envrionment. The translation still doesn't work, although the problem about rendering the view doesn't happen anymore...
BTW, the cokkie still doesn't get saved.
It's halfway to the solution, but something is still missing.
Any ideas?

Problem solved
I've managed to solve the problem. Apparently the confusion about concepts was the main responsible for everything going wrong (as I've already suspected, actually).
This is the final result:
I've moved the code that initially checks for the cookie and set the locale to my bootstrap file, left the indexAction on my IndexController empty and the changelocaleAction was left unmodified.
Worked like a charm. Oh, there's no such thing as the localhost cookie restriction, it works both locally and in the production environment.
Anyway, thank you very much for your reply.
Cheers,
Galvao
