Update Starter Site to Use Locale for URL Path

[damen-dotcms]

Parent Issue

https://github.com/dotCMS/core/issues/25603

Task

Once we have Locale IDs, we'll need a way to call content through the URL using the Locale IDs.

Proposed Objective

Core Features

Proposed Priority

Same as Parent

Acceptance Criteria

All of these need to be optional so we don't break any sites currently in production. This would be more like an optional feature people could turn on for now; and likely they way we'd want to configure all new sites going forward.

We want to be able to provide modern localization conventions right out of the box; users and implementation partners don’t need to put a lot of thought or planning into this as that often leads them to reinvent the wheel – and often they aren’t following established best practices.

Users would be able to define what Locales their site supports, and from there we could build out a URL structure for them.

URL	Notes
dotcoms.com/en/some-page	This is the Default English Language version of “Some Page” – note that there is no “default English” and we really should push users to use a Locale, not just a language.
dotcoms.com/en-us/some-page	This is the English Language version of “Some Page” for user in The United States.
dotcoms.com/es/some-page	This is the Default Spanish Language version of “Some Page”.
dotcoms.com/es-us/some-page	This is the Spanish Language version of “Some Page” for user in The United States.
dotcoms.com/es-cr/some-page	This is the Spanish Language version of “Some Page” for user in Costa Rica.

Note that eventually we'll want to be able to nest all localized content in that folder for the locale.

So like...

• dotcms.com/en-us/index.html
• dotcms.com/en-us/sitemap.xml
• dotcms.com/en-us/404

External Links... Slack Conversations, Support Tickets, Figma Designs, etc.
