Re: Routing with site language parameters

I'm kinda new to cake but i think you should try to put the rules in
other order.
what i mean is:

Router::connect('/:lang/:controller/:action/*', array('lang' =>'{2}'));

Router::connect('/', array('lang' => 'notset', 'controller' =>'casinos', 'action' => 'index'));

Like this!

Didn't test it my self, but you can try, My idea is that I think they are proccesed in the order you enter them.
