Ok, I have my own menu on my multilingual site. I have a page with the alias "about" in english. And english is my default language. So, when I am browsing the site in spanish I would like the spanish alias. I have tried all combinations I can think of to get the url() fucntion to translate "about" to "acercade",as it is in the system. What would be the correct way? Is it even working?
url('about',array=("absolute"=>TRUE, "alias"=>TRUE)) ;
thats my best guess.
Thanks for any hint, Michael
No need for $options['alias'] = TRUE, that will prevent alias lookup.
If you provide an internal path and $options['alias'] is set to TRUE, the path is assumed already to be the correct path alias, and the alias is not looked up.
Use the node/$nid path and let Drupal find the correct alias.
If that doesn't work, you could try manually passing the $options['language'] parameter
'language': An optional language object. If the path being linked to is internal to the site, $options['language'] is used to look up the alias for the URL. If $options['language'] is omitted, the global $language_url will be used.

url('node/6', array( "language" => language_list()['es'])); what i get is /es/node/6. So while this works technically, I do not get the translation, which would be better for search engines.
