A Django application that allow you to specify the language of a page in the URL.

Suppose you have a Django website in multiple languages. The localeurl application allow you to specify the language of a page in the URL, like so: http://www.example.com/nl/company/profile. Any URLs without language prefix will be redirected to add the prefix for the default language.

Some reasons for using localeurl:

• Search engines will index all languages.
• Every page should have a unique URL. If you feel that different languages means different pages, then each language should get its own unique URL.
• Setting the language for the website should be done using a POST request (because it influences subsequent page views, see Django ticket #3651). You might not want to use POST requests.
