What's your preferred approach to specifying a language tag in a URL? Is
there strong argument for one over the other?
http://example.com/en_us/path/to/some/index.html # language prefix
http://example.com/path/to/some/index.html?lang=en_us
I prefer the former way because the URL looks nicer.
(Not a very "strong" argument:)
Are pages in different languages different resources or different versions
of the same resource?
In most cases I think it is the same content with a different presentation
style, language...
Obviously, the prefix is easier if you use relative URLs, but uri_for
makes
adding the query parameter easy. Although, probably could argue that the
prefix approach is more efficient than wrapping uri_for for every
generated
link.
There is an example on the Catalyst wiki for overriding prepare_path() in
order to use urls like /en/path/to/another/file.html without needing to
change all controllers.
