Crawlers for languages

    Hi,

    It’s not an issue, I would just like some advice.

    My site is bilingual thanks to Polylang.

    Would it be wise to configure a crawler (and thus a cache) for each language?
    Is it possible to do it by adding the polylang cookie that records the language (in my case “pll_language”), in the crawler configuration (Cookie simulation) ?
    I specify that I use “guest mode” feature.

    Thanks a lot for any advices.
    Best regards

    PS: I found this on documentation:
    “WPML uses the ?_icl_current_language=? cookie to differentiate between visitor languages. An English speaker’s cookie would look like ?_icl_current_language=EN, while a Thai speaker’s cookie would look like ?_icl_current_language=TH. To crawl your site for a particular language, use a Guest user, and the appropriate cookie value.”

    But I don’t understand the last sentence: “use a Guest user”: what does it mean exactly ?

    H Qtwrk,

    You mean I don’t have to specify another user than “host”, like on this screenshot coming from present configuration ?
    my crawlers

    In my case, “customer” is coming from the user id of one of my customer.
    I stopped crawlers with “customer” because I’m not sure it’s really useful for me and also because I’m afraid it will cause a lot of load with a total of 16 crawlers.

    Thank you for your advices.
    Best regards

    Well, I’m not sure generating one cache per language with the help of Polylang cookie is really suitable for me…

    What is happening:

    *** I display one page in language FR –> cookie is set as pll_language=fr
    *** On this I switch toward language EN –> cookie stays as pll_language=fr
    *** I refresh (without deleting) cookies) this page –>cookie is set as pll_language=en
    ***I switch toward language FR –> cookie stays as pll_language=en

    I’m not sure it is caused by guest-mode enabled, because if I disable it : cookie _lscache_vary switches from “Guest-mode” to “5253ad7591e7079be24731efae29a1eb” and behavior is exactly the same.

    Thanks a lot if you can explain this to me.
    Best regards

    Hi,

    Finally, it seems using specific cache for this cookie, causes issue in my case.

    In functions.php, I had to apply filters according current language of pages with language detection by pll_current_language(), a function of Polylang dedicated to this.
    And with this kind of cache, filters are not applied.

    Not, a real problem, it was just for testing if this was suitable for my case.

    Have a good day!
    Best regards
