We have a need to identify language in URLs.
This resembles adding /fr to the URL path of our french pages in the URL Segment of the French homepage and the UrlRoot (i.e Catalog_UrlRoot = fr/catalogue, Product_UrlRoot = fr/produit, Brand_UrlRoot = fr/marques)
Current setting does not support adding a slash (/) in the UrlPath translations, which is causing undesirable user experiences and language display issues.
Benefits to adding this feature:
SEO:
Search engines (like Google) can easily recognize language-specific content when it’s separated by a path (i.e., /fr
for French). This helps with international SEO, making it easier to index and rank pages in the relevant language markets.
User Experience:
Users can easily identify the page's language by looking at the URL, which enhances usability and makes navigation more predictable, especially on multilingual sites.
If users share a link, the URL will immediately indicate the language, which is particularly helpful
Simplifies site structure:
A /fr structure keeps language variations in an organized hierarchy within the main domain, making it easier to manage language-specific content and maintain consistent tracking or analytics per language version.
We have added this item to our backlog for future consideration and prioritization. Additional comments and use cases are encouraged and if we pick this up in the future we may reach out for additional details.
Thank you for submitting this request! Our team is currently reviewing if and how we may implement this, particularly with consideration of our wide client base. We will update this ticket once we have completed this investigation.
