-Next, you need to create a route for this URL (but not a controller):
+Symfony will then un-authenticate users navigating to the configured ``path``,
+and redirect them to the configured ``target``.

+Another option is to configure ``path`` as a route name. This can be useful
+if you want logout URIs to be dynamic (e.g. translated according to the
+current locale). In that case, you have to create this route yourself:
+
+.. configuration-block::
+
+    .. code-block:: yaml
+
+        # config/routes.yaml
+        app_logout:
+            path:

+                <path locale="en">/logout</path>
+                <path locale="fr">/deconnexion</path>
+            </route>
+        </routes>
+
+    .. code-block:: php

+        return function (RoutingConfigurator $routes): void {
+            $routes->add('app_logout', [
+                'en' => '/logout',

+            ])
+                ->methods(['GET'])
+            ;
