How to translate $url_handlers? - silverstripe

Question

I have a situation where I need to translate the following $url_handlers for different countries.
So on an english site the URL looks like this: http://website.com/gyms/boston/group-training
I need to be able to translate the "group-training" part of the URL. I have translated the rest of the site using the _t() method throughout.
My current setup:
class GymLocationPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
private static $allowed_actions = array(
'currentSpecials',
'sevenDayFreeTrial',
'groupTraining'
);
private static $url_handlers = array(
'current-specials' => 'currentSpecials',
'trial' => 'sevenDayFreeTrial',
'group-training' => 'groupTraining'
);
}
How would one achieve this?

You could update the config inside the controller's init() function, doing something like this:
public function init() {
parent::init();
// Define your translated actions.
$translatedCurrentSpecials = _t('Actions.CURRENT_SPECIALS', 'aktuella-kampanjer');
$translatedSevenDayFreeTrial = _t('Actions.SEVEN_DAY_TRIAL', 'sjudagars-prova-pa-period');
// Define your url handlers.
$urlHandlers = $this->config()->url_handlers;
$translatedUrlHandlers = [
$translatedCurrentSpecials => 'currentSpecials',
$translatedSevenDayFreeTrial => 'sevenDayFreeTrial'
];
// Update the config.
Config::inst()->update(
$this->class,
'url_handlers',
$translatedUrlHandlers + $urlHandlers // Important to prepend and not append.
);
}
