Multilanguage URLs

Question

In codeigniter, the name of your controller, reflects the URL. But my question is, how can you create multi language URLs without copy/pasting all your controllers.

Example:

• In english the URL would be: http://www.example.com/order
• In dutch the URL would be: http://www.example.com/bestellen ("bestellen" is dutch for "order")

Thanks

Answer 1

Usually a URL rewrite filter is used to handle this kind of behaviour.

I'm not familiar with CodeIgniter but a quick Google search shows this page about using mod rewrite in CodeIgniter.

Answer 2

You should be able to do it by creating aliases to each controller. Check your config/routes.php path

Answer 3

Take a look at URI routing in Code Igniter's user guide.
