It may tend to use the pinyin alias of categories ({catname}) and the pinyin alias of content ({filename}），or combined with a concise number ID（{id}Build the URL.The advantage of this pattern is that it can convey the semantics of Chinese titles through pinyin, which is helpful for domestic search engines to understand the theme of the content if they can correctly parse these pinyin.At the same time, for users, a URL composed of pinyin, although not as intuitive as English words, is more recognizable than a pure numeric ID and conforms to the usage habits of Chinese users.Choose this mode of website, which is usually targeted at Chinese users, and the content is mainly in Chinese.

Therefore, the design philosophy of 'Classification Naming Pattern 2' will focus on utilizing the English aliases (slug) of categories and content, that is, concise and descriptive English phrases automatically generated from English titles. For example, an article about 'Go Language Development' may have a URL that looks like this./programming/go-language-development.htmlof whichprogrammingIs a category English alias,go-language-developmentIs the English alias of the article.This pattern can maximize the integration of keywords into URLs, directly enhancing the relevance and search engine visibility of English websites, which is undoubtedly the better choice for websites targeting international markets or those mainly in English content.
