Re: Best way to localize URL

You could use Routes to connect URLs to a controller by an alternate
name:
Router::connect('/マイアップ/外国語/何々', array('controller'
=> 'actualController', 'action' => ...));
But that can be become quite a hassle if you have many controllers and
actions.

Any variables in the URL you could store in two languages:
/myapp/controller/view/english-name-of-post
/myapp/controller/view/日本語バーション
Which means you have two fields in your model: 'id_english' and
'id_otherlang'.

Constructing URLs is more of a hazzle, you may want to write your own
helper for that.
Ultimately I see little benefit in localizing URLs for most apps. If
you're working on something like last.fm, localized variables/ids are
worth it I guess (i.e. http://www.last.fm/music/М.
