Is it possible to add custom Symfony2 route global variables like _format and _locale?

In my Symfony2 project, I have a news site with posts. These posts can be published in different regions. The current scope (user selection) must be part of the url. So the urls should look like this:

/mag => main news site, no region selection
/mag/region1/ => posts for region 1
/mag/region2/ => ...
/mag/region1/my-news-post-slug => detail view of one post

In the news posts I used the Sonata News Sonata .

Now my question is, how do I add a region to the routing system without changing every controller and package template I use? When I just add it to my routing config like

magazin:
    resource:   '@SonataNewsBundle/Resources/config/routing/news.xml'
    prefix:     /mag/{region}

I am getting errors because this parameter is not set when generating the route in the controllers and templates of the newsletter (and others). I need something like route variables {_format}

or {_locale}

that are obviously already added by the routing component. Can such global values ​​be added?

Check out how Symfony does it with a locale.

https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/2.8/src/Symfony/Component/HttpKernel/EventListener/LocaleListener.php



They use an event listener to grab the locale from the request parameters and add it to the router context parameters.
