I have a view that is called using the method post and not get. But when I want to change the language of the view in rails using I18n and change_locale_path(:es). I have routing problems because there is no route that matches [Get]"/Contacts" and localhost:3000/contacts is called with post.
My apllication.html.erb is:
<li><%= link_to (t ('layouts.language1')) , change_locale_path(:es) %></li>
My routes file is:
resources :contacts, only: [:new,:create]
get 'gmm/home'
get 'gmm/about'
get 'gmm/services'
get 'gmm/contact'
get '/change_locale/:locale', to: 'settings#change_locale', as: :change_locale
I also tries adding this to the routes file.
match ':controller/:action' ,via: [:get,:post]
You can just add method: :post to send request as post.
<li><%= link_to (t ('layouts.language1')) , change_locale_path(:es), method: :post %></li>
Secondly: if you are on /contacts page and want to change locale. You can send change locale request using ajax also.
For sending request using ajax:
<li><%= link_to (t ('layouts.language1')) , change_locale_path(:es), method: :post, remote: true %></li>
