  • Ohh... and this works nicely with the language switch I use. Commented Oct 23, 2014 at 9:15
  • That's the only way I've got it to work properly too, I can see the benefits of using entries in this way (adding/editing fields) and it does no harm in this case, but it seems a bit cumbersome just to provide a translated url, especially considering how well all the other multilingual aspects of Craft work. I now have a single "news" and a channel "club news" to cover one area of the site. If this is indeed the best way of tackling the problem it would be good if Craft could provide an "index" single automatically (or at least the option) to keep everything together.

  • In fact I'd recommend to not use a single but a structure section, containing entries not just for index pages but also other "single" pages. Commented Oct 23, 2014 at 9:58
  • @Gogster when I first encountered this "limitation" with translating slugs I too didn't like it. But now I don't see it as one any more, because I use a structure (with multiple entry types) anyways for the navigation and "single" cotent pages. Commented Oct 23, 2014 at 10:02

    These Q/A might be of interest for you, if you start using this approach: "Multi-lingual site navigation made of singles, channels and structure" and "Add home page to a structure?". Slightly different approach but also worth looking into: "Would you use a Structure as navigation over multiple sections (channel entries, indexes and singles)?". Commented Oct 23, 2014 at 10:27
