=== Configuration # Configuration


To enable or disable the locale routing To enable or disable the locale routing set Perfectline::LocaleRouting.enabled = true/false # defaults to true
Perfectline::LocaleRouting.enabled = true/false # defaults to true To specifiy which part of the URL should be matched for the locale identifier, set Perfectline::LocaleRouting.match_from = option


To specifiy which part of the URL should be matched for the locale identifier ## Available options for match_from are:
Perfectline::LocaleRouting.match_from = option * :params
Searches for a 2 letter locale string in the parameters, specifically in the first query stirng token.
Found token is matched against I18n.available_locales and if no such locale exists, it will fall back to the default locale.
Example: www.myhost.com/en/foo/bar


Available options for match_from are: Example:
* :params

Found token is matched against I18n.available_locales and if no such locale exists, it will fall back to the default locale.
Example: www.myhost.com/en/foo/bar

* Example:
www.myapp.com resolves to root controller with the default locale www.myapp.com resolves to root controller with the default locale
www.myapp.com/en resolves to root controller with locale => "en" www.myapp.com/en resolves to root controller with locale => "en"
www.myapp.com/foo/bar resolves to "foo" controller, "bar" action with default locale www.myapp.com/foo/bar resolves to "foo" controller, "bar" action with default locale
www.myapp.com/fr/foo/bar resolves to "foo" controller, "bar" action with locale => "fr" www.myapp.com/fr/foo/bar resolves to "foo" controller, "bar" action with locale => "fr"


* :host * :host
Searches for configured matches in the domain name. If a match is found, the configured locale is then checked against I18n.available_locales. Searches for configured matches in the domain name. If a match is found, the configured locale is then checked against I18n.available_locales.
