Pimcore - i18n Manager

Introduction

Pimcore already comes with some great features to build internationalized websites. But there are some gaps we have to handle by ourselves: search engine guidelines, geo based redirects and a dynamic link handling for internal documents. This Bundle helps you mastering this challenges and gives you the freedom to elaborate complex country based localization strategies.

Features

• Manage href-lang tags
• Handle internal link redirects based on hardlink context
• Domain mapping (domain.com) and/or language slug (/en) strategies

Preparation

• If you're using system as your locale_adapter, which is the default, you need to enable all required locales in pimcore system settings
