Language and default duplicated

[Guest]

Im trying to work out a way to stop duplication of pages for the following examples.

 

My default language is english so the index page would be index.php containing all my categories and descriptons in english.

 

BUT

 

When I have viewed the page in a different language such as spanish and want to go back to viewing it in english I get index.php?language=en when clicking on the english icon

 

The search engines will see this as a diplicate of index.php wont they?

 

Is there anyway to get the url to be my default url when clicking on the english flag?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

yeah, you'd need to rewrite the box and the application_top.php so the langage is passed as a post variable and not as a get variable - get variables always show in the url
