We have an MCMS site that will be localized into 10 languages, using a
channel structure for each language that parallels the source
language's channel structure. The US English content will be the
source, with the source posting extracted as file for localization, and
the localized file inserted as a posting into its respective localized
channel. We understand that using MCMS managed links is the way to go
for links between pages. However, we are unsure how to localize the
links, which will contain the GUID of a US English posting, without
manual intervention for each link in each language. Is there a way to
"localize" the friendly version of the links that users see so that the
"/en-us/" gets replaced with "/de-de/", etc., either as the file is
being inserted as a posting after localization or as the posting is
displayed to a user?

Thanks,

Hi Ben,

no MCMS does not support this.
What you could do is to implement a custom placeholder control and add the
logic to replace this substring within the SavePlaceholderContent method.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

We will look into creating the custom placeholder. Thanks for pointing
us in the right direction!

FYI, Stefan, one of your previous posts ("how to modify url tag output
format in a placeholder") at
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.cmserver.general/browse_thread/thread/b4ecb7e4ebc3701a/a43a7eef47cc5a40
worked like a charm for this.
