Question

I’m trying to implement localization with routes

I have the following:

routes.MapRoute( 'DefaultLocalized',                   '{lang}/{controller}/{action}/{id}',                  new { controller = 'Home',                        action = 'Index',                        id = '',                        lang = 'en' }                );  routes.MapRoute( 'Default',                  '{controller}/{action}/{id}',                  new { controller = 'Home',                        action = 'Index',                        id = '' }                ); 

When I call my page domain/en/home/index, it works fine but when i call domain/home/index I get error 404: resource cannot be found.

Also when I’m at domain/en/home/index and I click a secured page I get redirected to domain/Account/login how can I be redirected to domain/en/Account/login?

Also when I get an application error how can I be redirected to domain/en/home/error?

The real question is how can I implement localization with language as a route parameter?

Answer 1

You could also introduce a constraint even tighter than Marc Gravell and Freddy Rios.

something like ‘en|de|fr|es’. This would mean hardcoding the languages but usually these are few and known.
