Also i tried adding the address to the try_files:

try_files $uri $uri @app/de/; and try_files $uri $uri @app/de;

but that didn't work either.

The way i managed to provide translated content, was using a rewrite inside
of my location block: rewrite ^(.*)$ /my-language/$1 break;

That solves part of my problem.



The core basic of my problem is "Rewrite the URL based on the "server
name"".

So far the only options i see on nginx are:

1. Have a configuration with one "if" and one "rewrite" in order to map
server name to path

2. Multiple server declarations sharing the same configuration ( probably
using some sort of include? )


What you reckon? Any suggestion ?
