9924	i18n language selection in sitemaps	aronchi	nobody	"To make Google and other spiders crawl our translated web pages it could be possible to add other languages in sitemap.xml

Now it's impossible because language selection is done with accept-language (and google disables it on its spider) and browser cookie (disabled for search engine spiders), and the user can change it via POST to set_language (according to http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/i18n/#the-set-language-redirect-view )

If we enable also GET set_language, it could be possible to add translated pages to sitemap adding to all translated urls an ?language=en

Otherways Google sees only a portion of an i18n web django web site, with a lot of performance loss."		closed	Uncategorized	1.0		wontfix			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
