Share store view codes on a multi site / multi store setup

Share store view codes on a multi site / multi store setup

A big restriction in Magento is that it is not possible to use store view codes multiple times for different stores / websites.

 

For example this should be possible:

 

www.store1.com/en

www.store1.com/de

www.store1.com/nl

 

www.store2.com/en

www.store2.com/de

www.store2.com/nl

 

www.store3.com/en

www.store3.com/de

www.store3.com/nl

 

But this is not possible, because the store view code must be unique.

 

Now we have to do something like this:

 

www.store1.com/en

www.store1.com/de

www.store1.com/nl

 

www.store2.com/eng

www.store2.com/deu

www.store2.com/nld

 

www.store3.com/l_en

www.store3.com/l_de

www.store3.com/l_nl

 

And this just doesn't make sense.

It would be nice to have the possibility to use store view codes across different websites / stores. Or to rewrite the storeview codes on the frontend, something like this:

 

code - rewrite to

eng - en

fra - fr

deu - fr

 

english - en 

french - fr

german - de
