Use this function with both monolingual and multilingual configurations. The URL returned by this function depends on:
- Whether the input begins with a slash (`/`)
- The `baseURL` in your site configuration
- The language prefix, if any
This is the site configuration for the examples that follow:
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
defaultContentLanguage = 'en'
defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = true
[languages.en]
weight = 1
[languages.es]
weight = 2
{{< /code-toggle >}}
## Input does not begin with a slash
If the input does not begin with a slash, the path in the resulting URL will be relative to the `baseURL` in your site configuration.
When rendering the `en` site with `baseURL = https://example.org/`
```go-html-template
{{ absLangURL "" }} → https://example.org/en/
{{ absLangURL "articles" }} → https://example.org/en/articles
{{ absLangURL "style.css" }} → https://example.org/en/style.css
```
When rendering the `en` site with `baseURL = https://example.org/docs/`
```go-html-template
{{ absLangURL "" }} → https://example.org/docs/en/
{{ absLangURL "articles" }} → https://example.org/docs/en/articles
{{ absLangURL "style.css" }} → https://example.org/docs/en/style.css
```
## Input begins with a slash
If the input begins with a slash, the path in the resulting URL will be relative to the protocol+host of the `baseURL` in your site configuration.
When rendering the `en` site with `baseURL = https://example.org/`
```go-html-template
{{ absLangURL "/" }} → https://example.org/en/
{{ absLangURL "/articles" }} → https://example.org/en/articles
{{ absLangURL "/style.css" }} → https://example.org/en/style.css
```
When rendering the `en` site with `baseURL = https://example.org/docs/`
```go-html-template
{{ absLangURL "/" }} → https://example.org/en/
{{ absLangURL "/articles" }} → https://example.org/en/articles
{{ absLangURL "/style.css" }} → https://example.org/en/style.css
```
> [!note]
> As illustrated by the previous example, using a leading slash is rarely desirable and can lead to unexpected outcomes. In nearly all cases, omit the leading slash.
