Language switches to default when using templates (pages generated using pageAPI)

Hi @tandeman77,

did you still replicate it with the latest version? it seems like some problem with context variables, by chance if you check in the $context or in the route's meta do you see the locale property disappear?

Please have a look at #32

I just opened a pull request to solve this issue.

Temporary Workaround until this gets fixed:
cou can manually inject the language code you use in the url to your g-links.

In my case it looks like this:
<g-link class="nav__link" :to="'/'+$context.locale+'/about/'">{{$t("menu.about")}}</g-link>

Not the fanciest solution, but it works.

Unfortunately this still doesn't solve the issue, as the $context doesn't include the actual locale – the locale falls back to the default locale. As already mentioned, I resolved this here: #32

The locale still falls back to the default with your code, however. When taking out the $contect.locale the $context changes on page-switch. On links with the added $contect.locale the $context does not change

Edit: I didn't deep-dive in this top, so I don't know why this happens, just that it does :D

[helloiamlukas]

Can you provide an example repo? In all my tests the locale didn't fall back to the default with the fix of this pull request.

[ericwaetke]

Sure!

I've included the my "temporary workaround" from earlier commented out so you can test the difference!

Edit: I seem to have overlooked the $tp() style of using g-links. I haven't had time to update the repo above, but I am aware of it!

[helloiamlukas]

@ericwaetke I looked up your code now.

The problem with the $context.locale falling back to the default only applies to Templates. In your example however, you are exclusively using Pages.

Your problem is not related to this issue at all. As you already mentioned in your edit, you forgot to use the $tp helper function – by using this, everything will work as expected ☺️
