Language in URL

[chibko]

Hello,

In CONTAO 3.5, we had a checkbox in the tab settings : "Add the language to the URL"

I can't see this checkbox in CONTAO 4.3.5 managed edition. I have look if this option has been moved to the root page settings. No…

So, now in CONTAO 4.3.5, the language string is always added to the page URL ? even if there is just one website root ? It's a bit annoying…

You need to add

    prepend_locale: false

to your parameters.yml. You need to delete the production cache afterwards, either by hand or by running

vendor/bin/contao-console cache:clear -e=prod

In the future all this can be done with the Contao Manager, presumably.

Btw. you also might need to restart your browser (or clear the session cache manually otherwise).

The default behaviour has changed in the managed-edition, yes: contao/manager-bundle@5477fda

OK, thank you very much !
I see that the default behaviour is now to enable this option. It's not my choice because when i have a multilingual website, I always use the localized domain name. Contao is multilingual but also multi domains !

• www.mywebsite.fr for the French version
• www.mywebsite.com for English version
• www.mywebsite.es for spanish version
• …
  I think it's better for SEO. Btw, it's ok for me now that i can disable the feature. Thanks again.
