Im running a site on MySQL/Apache/PHP and it contains a couple of pages and a top menu to help navigating between them.
In order to provide a spanish version of the site, I have created a subdirectory called /es and essentially copied the whole site and pasted it in that directory.
In a new htaccess file in this subdirectory, I would like an urlrewrite formula that modifies all relative links in this subdirectory. For example I want the link "/pages/about.html" to become "/es/pages/about.html". Essentially, I want "/es/" to be prepended to every relative url.
Is this possible? Is this a reasonable way to proceed when making new language variants of my site?
