Get friendly URL with language flag? : EPiServer

Vote:

My variable langURL currently returns a non-friendly URL like so: http://localhost:57299/link/457fee1669e348febf67ecb57b281945.aspx?epslanguage=de-AT

Is it possible to get a friendly URL?

public static IHtmlString HrefLangLinks(this PageData currentPage)
{

    var availablePageLanguages = currentPage.ExistingLanguages.Select(culture => culture.Name).ToArray();
    var Output = "";
    var langURL = "";

    foreach (string listitem in availablePageLanguages)
    {
        langURL = EPiServer.Web.UriUtil.AddLanguageSelection(currentPage.LinkURL, listitem);
        Output += "<link href=\"" + langURL + "\" hreflang=\"" + listitem + "\" rel=\"alternate\" >";
    }


    // Dictionary<String, String>
    return new HtmlString(Output.ToString());
}

For each page I would like to get the friendly urls with the language flag as well, for example:

/
/de-DE
/en-DE

UrlResolver.GetUrl ?

Something like:

foreach(var lang in currentPage.ExistingLanguages)
{
     var langPrefix = lang.ToString();
     var url = UrlResolver.Current.GetUrl(currentPage.ContentLink, langPrefix);
}

If you need absolute urls you can use the current sitedefinition like: (I'm using the Flurl nuget package to combine urls to avoid handling all the slashes etc)

var currentSitePath = SiteDefinition.Current.SiteUrl;
foreach (var lang in currentPage.ExistingLanguages)
{
     var langPrefix = lang.ToString();
     var url = UrlResolver.Current.GetUrl(currentPage.ContentLink, langPrefix);
     var absoluteUrl = Flurl.Url.Combine(currentSitePath.ToString(), url);
}
