Internal (page) links on multilingual

[miezo]

I'm not sure how to handle this: I have a multilingual page. If I'm e.g. using a LinkIt field link on a page and the user selects a page from the dropdown when editing the french page (not the default language), it should then render a locale-aware link. So /mypage should be /fr/mypage.

For hardcoded page-links in the layout I used {{ get_content from="/mypage" }} {{ url }} {{ /get_content }} which gives me locale-aware links. I think the from parameter for get_content would also work with a page ID which is what LinkIt stores in the mypage.md.

Since I'm relatively new to Statamic I'm not sure if this should/could be handled in LinkIt or some other way (routes?) in Statamic.

Thanks for any hints.

I was able to solve it by prepending {{ locale_url }} to the page-link coming in from the LinkIt field:
<a href="{{ locale_url}}{{ myLinkitField | LinkIt:url}}">
this seems to work on all locales, including the default locale.

short addendum ('cause I'm an idiot): much better to use the {{ relate }} tag in this situation:

{{ relate myLinkIt_field.page }}
    {{ url }}
{{ /relate myLinkIt_field.page }}

will give the correct url according to the locale of the page that it's rendered.
