Objective : be able to handle such urls for a website in 4 languages (fr_BE, nl_BE, de, en):
- www.website.de/kontakt
- www.website.com/contact
- www.website.be/fr/nous-contacter
- www.website.be/nl/contacteer-ons
This is currenlty possible using my package remmel/i18n-routing-bundle (check demo). But here, we will use the new symfony features :
- Symfony 4.1: Internationalized routing (url prefix + translation)
- Symfony 5.1: Different hosts per locale
However, some optinal functionalities are still missing from Symfony (but present in my remmel/i18n-routing-bundle ) :
- Externalize url translation in
translations/routes.de.yaml - Merge prefix + host to shorten the configuration
Currently annotations.yaml
controllers:
resource: ../../src/Controller/
type: annotation
host:
fr_BE: www.website.be
nl_BE: www.website.be
en: www.website.com
de: www.website.de
prefix:
fr_BE: '/fr'
nl_BE: '/nl'
en: ''
de: ''
It would be great to have something like :
controllers:
resource: ../../src/Controller/
type: annotation
locales:
fr_BE: www.website.be/fr/
nl_BE: www.website.be/bl/
en: www.website.com
de: www.website.de
Generated routes of that project: bin/console debug:router
