Sightly to manage AEM multi-lingual internal links

Does anyone know you can use sightly to account for multi-lingual internal AEM links?  For example, the internal links should be translated like: /content/corporate/en/services.html link should be translated to /content/corporate/fr/services.html on the french website.

    Sightly is nothing to do with multi-lingual links. You need to set up the language copy for your site and create the translate pages

    refer [1] for language copy setup

    or let us know if you are looking at something else with sightly if you already have setup the language copy.

      Hi Robert,

      how are you managing your sites, as I presume you have multiple language sites? Are you using MSM[1] for this? If you were then there is an OOTB synchronization action called update references which would rewrite the links in your page [2].

      Language copy is a one of activity, with MSM you can view what changes have been made in the copied site.

      If you are not using MSM, then you would have to rewrite the link in custom code. Sightly is the HTML tempting language and as such would not be a good way to implement this functionality, ideally you want a link rewriter or use MSM to rewrite links.

      Regards,
