Level 1
=======

We want to replace URLs such as:

    http://example.com/en_US/example/path
    http://example.com/de_DE/example/path

with:

    http://example.us/some/path
    http://example.de/some/path

In other words, we want to get rid of the culture code as culture is
already encoded in the domain. Currently routes looks like this:

   some_path:
     url: /:sf_culture/some/path
     param: { module: main, action: somePath, sf_format: html }

What's the Symfony 1.4 way of setting that up?

Level 2
=======

Now things get more complicated. We also want internationalized path
names ("beispiel" in German means example):

    http://example.us/example/path
    http://example.de/beispiel/path

What's the Symfony 1.4 way of setting that up?

Beware of false friends ("gift" in German means poison):

    http://example.us/gift
    http://example.de/gift

Just found [slides][1] of a talk by Thomas Rabaix, in which he touches
the subject of I18N URLs. On page 12, a solution with using a custom
`sfRouting` class is mentioned. Adapted to my needs:

    class swCulturePatternRouting extends sfPatternRouting {
      public function generate($name, $params = array(), $absolute = false) {
        $culture = $this->getCultureFromDomain(); // adaption
        $culture_route_name = $name.'_'.$culture;

        if (array_key_exists($culture_route_name, $this->routes) {
          $name = $culture_route_name;
        }

        return parent::generate($name, $params, $absolute);
      }
    }

Usage:

    gift_en_US:
      url: /gift
      param: { module: main, action: gift, sf_culture: en_US }

    gift_de_DE:
      url: /geschenk
      param: { module: main, action: gift, sf_culture: de_DE }

    poison_en_US:
      url: /poison
      param: { module: main, action: poison, sf_culture: en_US }

    poison_de_DE:
      url: /gift
      param: { module: main, action: poison, sf_culture: de_DE }

URLs:

    http://example.us/gift
    http://example.de/geschenk
    http://example.us/poison
    http://example.de/gift

Had to do something similar to this in a project, trying to remember how it
was done.

Basically these two rules are handled by a special routing class:

  http://example.us/example/path
  http://example.de/beispiel/path

placed at the bottom of routing.yml acting as a "catch all" rule, the rules
are matched to the URL stored in the database.

At the database level this looks like:
 - domain (portal)
 - url
 - object type / object id

This solves only the "consumption" part, generating the URL from php code
is a different issue that has to be treated separately (you will
need to create your own function to generate the URL to the structure you
want).

Just found what looks like a beautiful solution on StackOverflow:

<http://stackoverflow.com/a/9963816/282729>

Quote from that solution:

    class myPatternRouting extends sfPatternRouting
    {
        public function getConfigFileName()
        {
            $domain_map = sfConfig::get('app_languages_domain_map');
            $domain     = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
            $culture    = isset($domain_map[$domain]) ?
$domain_map[$domain] : 'en';
            $routing    = sprintf('config/routing.%s.yml', $culture);

            return
sfContext::getInstance()->getConfigCache()->checkConfig($routing,
true);
        }
    }

In the end you can have several routing files, based on culture. For our
purposes that seems perfect. We only have a few routes in the project.

Seems great for a project where you need many routes. In our project,
however, this is not necessary. There are only a few routes.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion!

To follow up on this: It looks like it's only for generation of URLs
from routes. So, it's just 50% of a solution.
