Multi-language routing with Resource Router

The idea is to set up ISO 639-1 language code prefixes for urls (e.g. en/, de/, fr/), and set global variables {global:lang} and {global:lang_dir} for use in your templates.

In the control panel create a category group "languages" and populate it with your languages, setting the category url title to the appropriate 2-letter language code. Assign the category group to the channels you want to translate.

For example:

Category Name	Category URL Title

With Stash you have always been able to create global variables and evaluate them in the same template using if/else conditionals:

{exp:stash:set_value name="var" value="cheese" type="snippet"}

{if var == "cheese"}
  	We have cheese!
{if:else}
  	Where's the cheese, gromit? 
{/if}

Stash embeds with the process="start" parameter can be used to include pre-parsed or unparsed template tags in your template before any other tags or variables are parsed. This can be a more flexible alternative to EE's built-in snippet functionality.

It makes sense to combine snippets that are used globally into a single file so that they are included with the minimum of overhead. Call it somewhere in your template:

{!-- template at /stash_templates/snip/global.html --}
{stash:embed:snip:global process="start"}

Inside the stash embed:

{!-- unparsed snippets --}

"Medium traffic" = able to handle around 50 concurrent users on average.

If you want to handle 100+ concurrent users with the same modest hardware see the Varnish section below.
