change language via GET and POST requests?

[cluster]

is there any way to change the language via GET and POST requests from outside and what should the strings look like?

[cluster]

Is there really no way to switch languages from frontend?

You should have a dropdown on show for switching languages. 

[cluster]

yes exactly, I'm looking for the string or a function to trigger that

I have been using a multilingual whmcs installation (4 languages) for about 10 years, how can I integrate the languages into the Blesta frontend?
Do I need to buy the Besta CMS for this or how can I integrate a language switcher in the Blesta frontend?

### edit ###

oh, sorry for my impatience ?
it seems to work with the BlestaCMS when I add the languages there ...
I will pay more attention on it so I can get it work for my needs

not really ... it works for own content pages only

I will try to explain better ...
the language switcher does not change the URL which cause penalizing by google ranking due to "duplicate content w/ the same URL"
so the point here is to solve an SEO problem (duplicate content)
the URL should look like this after switch to another language:
default language:
https://www.mydomain.tld/
FR should be:
https://www.mydomain.tld/fr/
NL should be:
https://www.mydomain.tld/nl/
or
https://www.mydomain.tld/fr/plugin/support_manager/knowledgebase/
https://www.mydomain.tld/nl/plugin/support_manager/knowledgebase/

that would be feasible via a mod_rewrite rule but only if the language switcher shows the string, i.e. changing the language with a GET string ...

is there a possibility to use a function in structure.pdt that adds an iso code (fr) to the redirect_uri?

for example ... if language french was selected

<input type="hidden" name="redirect_uri" value="/fr/" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_uri" value="/fr/plugin/support_manager/knowledgebase/" />

the BlestaCMS plugin is working properly it appends the iso code of the language to the url but Blesta always shows the default URL after switching the language.

ok i have found the "lang" string which works for all languages incl. plugins, order page etc.

https://www.mydomain.tld/?lang=en_us
https://www.mydomain.tld/?lang=fr_fr
https://www.mydomain.tld/?lang=de_de
