    Depends. There is a "preferred archive" option in preferences which will control the type of URL that the EntryPermalink tag points to.

    If you have two totally different category templates, I don't know how to specify the one to use, but if you have the same template being published to two separate mappings, there is a checkbox that, IIRC, controls which mapping of that archive is the one that is found by the template tags that point to that template type.

    This tutorial shows how I created a very dynamic approach to creating individual templates that can handle printer-friendly pages, and this tutorial shows how I created the mod_rewrite rule to make the URL work for printer-friendly archives. Something like that may be of use to you if you need to have a single category template that dynamically changes under certain conditions.

    This is the scenario. I'm setting up two entry archive template. The first template will be use in this path "category/index.html".
    The second template will be use in this path "Sw/en/index.html". When I tried using custom path specifier the two template will just end up
    in this format " %-c/%-f ".

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
