Possible to have a single entry page with multilingual slugs and only one index.html?

Question

How can I be able to have a single section page (so that clients can't create another one of this) that only needs 1 index.html template across different languages AND be accessible through following different slugs:

• x.dev/muziektoerisme
• x.dev/fr/tourisme-musical/
• x.dev/en/music-tourism/

I currently have a setup similar to this one: Add home page to a structure?, which is a structure section 'Pages' with my custom page entry type 'musictourism' under 'craft/templates/_pages/_types/' (so 'musictourism.html' sits in this folder) This works great, except for the fact that users are able to recreate a page of this entry type, which I don't want.

Does my question make any sense? Or am I missing something fundamental here? :) I'm new to Craft by the way.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

What you're asking for is fine. Create a subfolder within your public directory for each locale with it's own index.php and define the new path to craft/ and the locale. For example, within public_html/fr/index.php you might have:

// Path to your craft/ folder
$craftPath = '../../craft';

// Tell Craft to serve the FRENCH content
define('CRAFT_LOCALE', 'fr');

With the single, you set the slug yourself within the section's settings (one slug for each locale that section is available to).
