[Flow] Question about Languages and URL/Routing

[Christian Loock]

Hi,

Yeah, well that makes it quite a bit more complex. It would also depend 
on how you handle your i18n.
You could create an abstract controller, that each of your controllers 
derive from. In this, you could write an initializeAction, that handles 
request variables and thus changes the language in the session. You 
would need to set a request parameter inside your route that determines 
the language. However, I do not know how you could fetch the request 
information inside your initializeAction. (TYPO3\Flow\Http\ Request:: 
createFromEnvironment might do it)

Another way would be to write an aspect that is executed before each 
action of your controllers. This way you wouldn't have to change all 
your controllers. Just look into the AOP documentation of Flow.
