Prestashop multistore and multilingual URL rewrite

Question

Setting up a Prestashop with multistore functionality together with multilingual support. This means that Prestashop from default would define my URL as:

domain.com/store/lang => domain.com/uk/ja   (UK store with Japanese language)

However I would really appreciate my URLs to have both store and language at one level:

domain.com/store-lang => domain.com/uk-ja

I figured out that this might be possible through either .htaccess or the dispatch.php file. However can't seem to get it working. And I would also appreciate a solution where it is not too hacky and harcoded many places.

I hope someone might have tried this before or maybe able to think of any possible solution :)

No correct answer

We have not come up with any solution to this issue. I am going to implement the application with /store/language and hope it wont affect the user or SEO. I have chosen to accept the answer below even though it is not actually working. However it was the only answer and really helpful.

Answer 1

You need to make a rewrite rule

look http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/content/6-prestashopseotips (and http://www.webshopstarter.com/shoppingcarts/prestashop-seo-friendly-urls/ )

and add:

RewriteRule ^(\w+)-(.*) $1/$2 [QSA,L,R=301]
