Translating URLs

Kirby helps you to create nice URLs for all your pages.

http://yourdomain.com/projects/project-a

Such URLs are readable for your visitors as well as for search engines.

But when you are working with a multi-language site project you will be facing the problem, that those URLs should somehow be translatable.

http://yourdomain.com/projekte/projekt-a

When multiple languages are activated for your site you can add an additional URL-Key field to translated content files, to translate the foldername of a page.

Here's a quick example – English is the default language:

content/projects/projects.en.txt

title: My Title
----
text: This is the text for the projects page

content/projects/projects.de.txt

title: Mein Titel
----
URL-Key: projekte
----
text: Das ist der Text für die Projekt Seite

The URL for the English translation will be:

http://yourdomain.com/en/projects

and the URL for the German translation will be:

http://yourdomain.com/de/projekte

You don't need to add URL-Key to your text files for your default language. Kirby will take the folder name in that case.
