Adding a prefix to every URL in CakePHP

Question

What\'s the cleanest way to add a prefix to every URL in CakePHP, like a language parameter?

http://example.com/en/controller/action
http://example.com/ru/ad         


        

Answer 1

An easier way might be to store the chosen language in a cookie and then not have to rewrite all the URLs. You could also potentially detect the user's browser language automatically.

However, search engines would be unlikely to pickup the various languages and you'd also lose the language if someone tried to share the link.

But love the full solution you posted, very comprehensive, thanks. :-)
