Language Support

[phrozen]

Is there a remote possibility to have language support at least on card search by name? (Maybe explicitly specifying the language). AFAIK Gatherer lets you change the language on the whole site only, if this is done via a cookie, maybe it can be replicated.

Is there a remote possibility to have language support at least on card search by name?

Are there URLs which include card names in languages other than English? For example, is there a non-English equivalent of http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Lightning%20Bolt?

Apparently just by Multiverse ID (which is indeed different).

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=224905 (Spanish)
http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=205227 (English)

Both from M11, is there a way to access the different languages of the printings of the card after a search by name? Maybe to provide the options.

Although while trying to search by name... apparently Gatherer puts the search query in brackets.

Of course that will only find something if you switch your language (at the bottom) to Spanish.
It would be helpful to know if they do this with a cookie (which can be replicated)

There's a cookie named CardDatabaseSettings. Here's its value with my default settings (English):

0=0&1=28&2=0&14=1&3=13&4=0&5=1&6=15&7=0&8=1&9=1&10=19&11=4&12=8&15=1&16=0&13=
      ^^

After switching my preferred language to Spanish:

0=0&1=es-ES&2=0&14=1&3=13&4=0&5=1&6=15&7=0&8=1&9=1&10=19&11=4&12=8&15=1&16=0&13=
      ^^^^^

Are you interested in working on a pull request, @phrozen?
