Prefixing routes with locale in Symfony2

Question

Here is my setup, a bit changed standard edition.

# app/config/routing.yml
_internal:
    resource: "@AcmeDemoBundle/Controller/"
    prefix: /{_locale}
    requirements:
        _locale: en|sr

And added /{_locale} in security.yml.

Routes before:

Name                      Method Pattern
_welcome                  ANY    /
_demo_login               ANY    /demo/secured/login
_security_check           ANY    /demo/secured/login_check
_demo_logout              ANY    /demo/secured/logout
acme_demo_secured_hello   ANY    /demo/secured/hello
_demo_secured_hello       ANY    /demo/secured/hello/{name}
_demo_secured_hello_admin ANY    /demo/secured/hello/admin/{name}
_demo                     ANY    /demo/
_demo_hello               ANY    /demo/hello/{name}
_demo_contact             ANY    /demo/contact
_wdt                      ANY    /_wdt/{token}
_profiler_search          ANY    /_profiler/search
_profiler_purge           ANY    /_profiler/purge
_profiler_import          ANY    /_profiler/import
_profiler_export          ANY    /_profiler/export/{token}.txt
_profiler_search_results  ANY    /_profiler/{token}/search/results
_profiler                 ANY    /_profiler/{token}
_configurator_home        ANY    /_configurator/
_configurator_step        ANY    /_configurator/step/{index}
_configurator_final       ANY    /_configurator/final

Routes after:

Name                      Method Pattern
_welcome                  ANY    /
_wdt                      ANY    /_wdt/{token}
_profiler_search          ANY    /_profiler/search
_profiler_purge           ANY    /_profiler/purge
_profiler_import          ANY    /_profiler/import
_profiler_export          ANY    /_profiler/export/{token}.txt
_profiler_search_results  ANY    /_profiler/{token}/search/results
_profiler                 ANY    /_profiler/{token}
_configurator_home        ANY    /_configurator/
_configurator_step        ANY    /_configurator/step/{index}
_configurator_final       ANY    /_configurator/final
_demo_login               ANY    /{_locale}/demo/secured/login
_security_check           ANY    /{_locale}/demo/secured/login_check
_demo_logout              ANY    /{_locale}/demo/secured/logout
acme_demo_secured_hello   ANY    /{_locale}/demo/secured/hello
_demo_secured_hello       ANY    /{_locale}/demo/secured/hello/{name}
_demo_secured_hello_admin ANY    /{_locale}/demo/secured/hello/admin/{name}
_demo                     ANY    /{_locale}/
_demo_hello               ANY    /{_locale}/hello/{name}
_demo_contact             ANY    /{_locale}/contact

Which ofc leads to No route found for "GET /en/demo/hello/World" for /en/demo/hello/World url.

Any idea how to fix this?

Additionally, I would like to implement per domain locale. I was trying https://github.com/schmittjoh/JMSI18nRoutingBundle, but for some reason it does not work with latest Symfony 2.0.9, at least for me. I was following the doc, but I got similar 404 error when trying prefixed urls.

Defining default values and requirements for placeholders in prefix is not possible in Symfony version 2.0.9. You'd have to upgrade to 2.1, which is currently in active development.
