Questions[languages](server)

I need to point subdomains like es.domain.com to /public/www/index.php
The problem is my host does NOT provide me to set a path, I can only set up the subdomains for "local use", which creates the folders in the public directory

My structure is

/public/
/public/de/
/public/es/
/public/it/
/public/www/index.php

My host told me to use .htaccess files inside the sub domain folders.

I tried, for example in /public/es/ something like

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(de|es|it)\.mydomain\.com$
        # Create an environment variable to remember the language:
    RewriteRule (.*) - [QSA,E=LANGUAGE:%1]
        # Now check if the LANGUAGE is empty (= doesn't exist)
    RewriteCond %{ENV:LANGUAGE} !^$
        # If so, create the default language (=es):
    RewriteRule (.*) - [QSA,E=LANGUAGE:es]
        # Change the root folder of the spanish language:
    RewriteCond %{ENV:LANGUAGE} ^es$
        # Change the root folder:
    RewriteRule ^/?$ /public/www/index.php
</IfModule>

But I am getting a 404 on this:
The requested URL /public/www/index.php was not found on this server.

In my DNS list I see that
es.domain.com CNAME onlinux-it.setupdns.net
while www.domain.com CNAME domain.com

I tried also assigning
es.domain.com CNAME to domain.com
but that did not change anything.

I have created a network installation point for Office 2010 ProPlus that contains two language packs — en-us, and cs-cz (Czech). I've also created an Office Customization File.

In my environment the OS language is English, however the locale is set to Czech. Office 2010 setup when run from the network installation point keeps running with Czech as the shell UI language. This behavior is documented.

I attempted to modify the config.xml file in the ProPlus.WW directory and add the following two lines:

<AddLanguage Id="en-us" ShellTransform="yes"/>
<AddLanguage Id="cs-cz" />

When I run setup.exe /adminfile myconfig.msp the setting is ignored. When I try to specify the config file on the command line like setup.exe /adminfile myconfig.msp /config ProPlus.WW\config.xml setup just displays the set of available command-line options, apparently not accepting these two parameters at once.

So, how to override this behavior and force English to be the default shell UI language?

We have a website www.example.com pointing to x.x.x.1 and a system with multiples minisites all having subdomains.examples.com pointing to x.x.x.2

Basically what we have in place is a wildcard DNS entry who could basically match any possible subdomain, once reaching x.x.x.2, the apache vhost would intercept and basically redirect it to a php script who in turn would know what minisites to serve.

On www.example.com however, we server contents which are translates in several languages, until few weeks ago you could switch languages by clicking on a flag and you'd be served with the translated content. The only problem is that the URL wouldn't change and SEO wise this isn't the best solution.

Now I cannot change the way subdomain are handled (being redirected to x.x.x.2) since we have hundreds, if not thousands of minisites live.

I have to come up with a solution to have language.example.com redirecting to x.x.x.1 and then a rewrite rule who would basically rewrite the fake subdomain into a URL in order to pass the parameter of the language to example.com

On solution is to list all possible language as DNS entries right before the wildcard DNS entry. The other solution which I am almost sure is not feasible is to have some kind of regex in a DNS entry matching all subdomain with 2 letters ( en|es|fr|cn|cl etc... )

Any ideas?
