I am trying to use ex_cldr for localization. I want to use path parameters to change languages and it doesn’t work, but works with query parameters. Requesting http://localhost:4000/en will use fa as locale but http://localhost:4000/?locale=en uses en. I have added this to the endpoint.ex: plug Cl…

Clearly demonstrating my lack of Phoenix knowledge. But it looks like you would need to put Cldr.Plug.SetLocale in your pipeline, not the endpoint. Possible you can try that? As best I can tell from the docs, the pipeline is not run unless a route is found - and I believe when a route is found that p…

@ashkan , I’m the author - I’ll take a look and see if there’s an issue. Feel free to open an issue at https://github.com/elixir-cldr/cldr/issues Can you confirm that you are using Phoenix version >= 1.3? path_params was added then and its what the plug uses for locale detection in paths.

I am using phoenix 1.5. [image] kip: path_params was added then and its what the plug uses for locale detection in paths. I am not sure If I understand correctly but phoenix is able to detect the parameter, this is what I saw in server logs Parameters: %{"locale" => "en"} when I request http…

Wold you kindly check that you have Cldr.Plug.SetLocale configured after plug :match in your endpoint? plug :match is what populates the path_params and therefore its important Plug.Cldr.SetLocale comes after that.

[image] kip: plug :match There’s no explicit plug :match in phoenix.

There is no plug :match in my endpoint

Ahhhhhh. OK, in the case I’m looking for help too :slight_smile: Is there a way to have a user plug run after plug :match and before plug :dispatch or Phoenix equivalents?

[image] kip: Possible you can try that? As best I can tell from the docs, the pipeline is not run unless a route is found - and I believe when a route is found that path_params is decoded. That’s true. Pipelines are run after a route is matched, as the matched route determines which pipelines…

Thanks that worked. P.S. You were right path_params was empty at that point in endpoint. I used another plug to test that. Previously I have check it near the end of processing pipeline.

That’s true. Pipelines are run after a route is matched, as the matched route determines which pipelines need to run.
