The `Identifier` method returns the `identifier` property of the menu entry. If you define the menu entry [automatically], it returns the page's section.
[automatically]: /content-management/menus/#define-automatically
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
[[menus.main]]
identifier = 'about'
name = 'About'
pageRef = '/about'
weight = 10
[[menus.main]]
identifier = 'contact'
name = 'Contact'
pageRef = '/contact'
weight = 20
{{< /code-toggle >}}
This example uses the `Identifier` method when querying the translation table on a multilingual site, falling back the `name` property if a matching key in the translation table does not exist:
```go-html-template
<ul>
{{ range .Site.Menus.main }}
<li><a href="{{ .URL }}">{{ or (T .Identifier) .Name }}</a></li>
{{ end }}
</ul>
```
{{% note %}}
In the menu definition above, note that the `identifier` property is only required when two or more menu entries have the same name, or when localizing the name using translation tables.
