CakePHP Routing with slug and language

I need route containing Both language parameter and slug in the url.

i.e http://localhost/demo/eng/home

Here "eng" is language name and "home" is slug name.

I have done following code in route.php

Router::connect('/:language/:action/*',array('controller' => 'homes'),array('language' => '[a-z]{3}'));

Router::connect('/:language/:slug/*', array('controller' => 'homes', 'action' => 'view'), array('language' => '[a-z]{3}','slug' => '[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+'));
Router::connect('/:slug',array('controller' => 'homes','action' => 'view'),array('slug' => '[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+'));

Also in view

You have conflicted routes.

I am guessing that you are trying to pass a URL array like the following to HtmlHelper::link() or HtmlHelper::url():

[
    'controller' => 'homes',
    'action' => 'view',
    'language' => 'eng',
    'slug' => 'press-release',
]

But this array matches not only /:language/:slug/* but also /:language/:action/*. Because both language and action are contained, and slug matches * as a named parameter. And /:language/:action/* appears before /:language/:slug/* in your routes.php. If you define conflicted routes, the first defined route has higher priority. Thus, you get the URL /eng/view/slug:press-release.

In conclusion, /:language/:action/* should be removed or should be defined at least after /:language:/:slug/*.
