Question

Is there some common solution or best practice how to implement localized URL string and routes in (java) Play! application?

we need routes like this:

/examples/demonstration

/esempi/dimostrazione

/przyklady/demonstracji

…(10+ languages)

All URLs naturally pointing to controller Examples and action demonstration.

Thanks in advance!

Perhaps you can do something like this:

For English:

%{ if (play.i18n.Lang.getLocale().getLanguage().equals("en")) { }%
GET     /add-new-post                Application.addNewPost
%{ } }%

For Dutch:

%{ if (play.i18n.Lang.getLocale().getLanguage().equals("nl")) { }%
GET     /voeg-nieuwe-commentaar      Application.addNewPost
%{ } }%

Etc etc..
