on your action controller you can put this conditional

in view you need consider this,
on ajax development you still need consider about graceful degradation, so
in every link there must consider if the javascript is not working.

What's your model name for the utilizadores table? My guess is CakePhp's

Utilizador <-> Utilizadores. You could get the portuguese inflections

Re: Solution for multi-lingual application with the same content

2009-12-10T11:37:47Z

If you have a lot of products and product list tend to change there
would be better to have this DB structure:

PRODUCT (id, name, desc, other properties in main language).
PRODUCT_$LANG (id, product_id, name, desc, other text properties in
whatever language you want).

And to get translated values, you just join these tables.

CMS.

to search redirect in code, if no - the problem is in requestAction or
