web2py routing is not really set up to do this kind of thing. The nearest I can suggest is to have no routes.py, and: 1. Write a URL() wrapper that translates request.controller & request.function for outgoing URLs. 2. In your model (eg early in db.py), translate request.controller & request.function to the base language of the app. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
