MultiLingual with URL like www.mysite.com/en/
Hi,
i want to reflect the language of a page in the url.

My intention is to build my site as much search engine friendly as possible, and so i dont want to use querystring parameters at all and i dont want to use subdomains or domains as this would split the weight of my site to different domains.

Ex. desidered:
www.mysite.com/en/home.aspx or www.mysite.com/de/home.aspx

instead of using a parameter like:
www.mysite.com/home.aspx?lang=de or www.mysite.com/home.aspx?lang=en

I tried to use the UrlRewritingNet from www.urlrewriting.net to do a rewrite before the internal Kentico rewrite.

This works, but it breaks the request paths:
www.mysite.com/en/home.aspx gets rewritten to www.mysite.com/<b><i>EN</i></b>/home.aspx?lang=en

Any input or help is highly appreciated.

Unfortunately, this option is not directly supported.

My questions goes in a different direction:

Is it possible to have a page called

home.aspx in the English culture and the french equivalent called accueil.aspx?

In other words, would home.aspx?lang=fr-Ca the only alternative or is the another option?

Especially if you want to create landing pages that you print on some off-line advertising it would be nice to have this option, like:

site.com/specialEvent/
site.com/EvenementSpeciale/

Thanks
