How to set multiple Login pages

Muhammad Gouda

I am developing a multilanguage website. When a user tries to access a secured page without loging in, he/she is redirected to the login page which is defined in the web.config by a unique path. I need to create a seperate login page for each language. So, how to point to them all in the web.config

Why do you need seperate login pages ? Wouldn't you just want different text to be shown on the one page, based on language ?

Just check user login in on each and every page. If it contain nothing the redirect user to login page.

People Laugh on me Because i am Different but i Laugh on them Because they all are same.

That would be better than having multiple login pages.

You did not get me imagin that the login page is in English and the user is not familiar with English, he needs to be redirected to a login page in his own language

Try to take a look here, I guess that's what you need: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms227427(VS.80).aspx[^]

Yes, that's how I'd do all internationalisation, by having all strings set from resources.

Just as a matter of interest, how do you know what the user's native language is, if he hasn't logged in?

I need not to know his native language Simply, I will ask him to choose his language before logging in

So every time I visited your site, I would have to tell you what language I wanted to use before I logged in? That is really bad user experience.

Maybe Page.Request.UserLanguages array can help you to determine what is user's preferred language. But always keep an option for a user to change the setting and store it in a cookie.
