change url path using jquery

Question

I have made a website for two different languages each being in two different folders en and bn. I want to switch between the folders on href element click using jquery.

<a class="eng_link " style="" href="#"> English</a> 
<a class=" link_active bangla_link " style="" href="#">বাংলা &nbsp;/ &nbsp;</a>

Say, I am currently on www.example.com/en/content?id=1. While clicking the link for english it will redirect to the url www.example.com/bn/content?id=1 and vice versa. Only the bn part of the url will change to en keeping other parts the same. How can I do this?

Answer 1

This is how I have done it. In the index page of bn:

<a class="eng_link " style="" href="#" id='a' onClick="en_onClick()"> English</a> 
<a class=" link_active bangla_link " style="" href="index" >বাংলা &nbsp;/ &nbsp; </a>  

JS

    function en_onClick() {
     $(location).attr('href');
     var bn_pathname = window.location.href;
     var en_pathname = bn_pathname.replace("bn/", "en/"); 
     window.location.replace(en_pathname);
 }

In the index page of en:

 <a class=" bangla_link link_in" style="" href="#" onClick="bn_onClick()"> বাংলা</a> 
 <a class=" link_active  eng_link" style="" href="#"> English &nbsp;/ &nbsp; </a> 

JS

    function bn_onClick() {
     $(location).attr('href');
     var bn_pathname = window.location.href;
     var en_pathname = bn_pathname.replace("en/", "bn/"); 
     window.location.replace(en_pathname);
 }

Answer 2

This is how I would do it:

$(".changeLink").click(function() {
  $(".eng_link").attr("href", $(".eng_link").attr("href").replace("en", "bn"))
});
