I have solved my problems and wrote a recipe http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=recipes:pretty_i18n_urls

Maybe it helps you get started.

Hello!

Any results? A recipe to follow maybe? Any solution to solve the broken CSS and images path?

thanks a lot for your help.

Thanks, Hamish !

It is the part in your reply "And then ... maybe" where I am exactly. All else is fine already. I need to hack Director now, and maybe some other places to get my URLs right.

I'll go with trial and error now; I love it!

Thanks again!

This line in your _config.php should get you started:

Director::addRules(2, array(
'$Lang/$URLSegment/$Action/$ID/$OtherID' => 'ModelAsController'
));

Then you'll need to modify your .htaccess file so that the the $Lang bit gets changing into the lang query parameter before it gets sent to sapphire. Something like:

RewriteRule ^(\D+\/)(.*)$ sapphire/main.php?lang=$1&url=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

And then... maybe Director::setBaseURL($lang), but I'm not sure how to get the current language from the _config.php file. Maybe you'll need to create a custom controller to send requests to the right place. Also, it breaks the CSS and images..

Not sure where too from there, but maybe I gave you some ideas.

Adding language code in front of URL segment - where ?

Good evening.

Can someone give me a hint at what part of the core the URL is constructed? What I want is to add currentLang() in front of the "ordinary" URI so that mysite.com/about-us/ becomes mysite.com/en/about-us/

I am staring at the Director and am tempted to add some Translatable::currentLang() here and there, but that baby is quite pasta-like to me. Is there a better, safer, place to find my happiness?

This is the last issue before I have my i18n with nice URLs and pretty links - help please !

Thanks!
