I'm using this snippet of code to grab a url from a clicked link:
var url = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
I want to add a string to that url.
For example, my current url is:
I want to make it:
http://mydomain.com/myarticle-chinese
What should I add to my initial line of code to make that happen?
I'd be grateful for your advice!

var $a = $(this).find('a');
var url = $a.attr('href');
$a.attr('href', url + '-chinese');
var url = $(this).find('a').attr('href') + "-chinese";
This will store the new value in url:
var url = $(this).find('a').attr('href') + '-chinese';
and this will redirect the user's browser:
window.location.href = $(this).find('a').attr('href') + '-chinese'
You want to append the string "-chinese" to the retrieved URL? Try this:
var url = $(this).find('a').attr('href') + '-chinese';
