Localization using ex_cldr

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 Cldr.Plug.SetLocale,
    apps: [:cldr, :gettext],
    from: [:path, :query],
    gettext: MyAppWeb.Gettext,
    cldr: MyApp.Cldr

This is the cldr module:

defmodule MyApp.Cldr do
  use Cldr,
    locales: ["en", "fa"],
    default_locale: "fa",
    gettext: MyAppWeb.Gettext
end

And my routes:

scope "/:locale" do
  pipe_through [:browser, :simple_layout]

  pow_routes()
end

scope "/:locale", MyAppWeb do
  pipe_through :browser

  get "/", PageController, :index
end

scope "/:locale/admin", MyAppWeb do
  pipe_through [:browser, :protected, :admin_layout]
end

scope "/" do
  pipe_through [:browser, :simple_layout]

  pow_routes()
end

scope "/", MyAppWeb do
  pipe_through :browser

  get "/", PageController, :index
end

scope "/admin", MyAppWeb do
  pipe_through [:browser, :protected, :admin_layout]
end

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 path_params is decoded.

So, for example:

  pipeline :browser do
    plug :fetch_session
    plug :accepts, ["html"]
    plug Cldr.Plug.SetLocale, 
      apps: [:cldr, :gettext],
      from: [:path, :query],
      gettext: MyAppWeb.Gettext,
      cldr: MyApp.Cldr
  end

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

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.
