Thanks AD for your ideas. My thinking is that if I store the whole slug in the slug field (ie with the ancestors) then that will be a unique key to search for the data from (I'll validate this to make sure it is). I guess I'll also have to handle the fact that the user may change their location setting, in which case a redirect to the correct URL based on the page ID will be needed.
My problem now is to read the slug from the i18n table when looking up the correct record in my 'pagina' table (that's just what I've called it). How do I do this? Can you help?
