Hi all of you

In this company we are in the middle of creating our sales portal in Umbraco. The site is in three languages. We want to have user friendly URLs for all our products and list pages with countries, regions and cities. But what is the best solution to achieve that?

Our first idea was to make url rewrite rules. But we are afraid that will be slowing our site dramatically. It seems to become hard to make the meta data individual. It will demand at least four rules. The product names and area names has to be stored url encoded in the database, which will be difficult to maintain

Another idea is to create the all these nodes in the Umbraco content tree. But that may be quite confusing for the persons, who are going to update the pages. If all these pages are placed in the root of the site Umbraco won’t know which language it’s supposed view from the dictionary. If we place them inside a language specific folder they won’t have the url we want. Will Umbraco's performance become unnecessary poor? The url encoding we want can’t be achieve, because Umbraco uses the “common” encoding.

We are talking about approximately 10.000 rewrites or nodes.

Anyone have some experience in this? We would very much like your thoughts on this!

Thanks!
