Redirect to /fr for french users is broken

what's the current behavior? redirecting to /en?

[moul]

that's because the file _redirects is at the root of the repo, it should instead be placed somewhere so when hugo builds the website, the file is at the root like a favicon.ico or robots.txt

@alexsland still broken?

It seems that when sending multiple languages in the "Accept-Language" header, Netlify always returns the default language.

Some tests:

$ curl https://deploy-preview-75--p2pparis.netlify.com
Redirecting to /en/

$ curl -H 'accept-language: fr' https://deploy-preview-75--p2pparis.netlify.com
Redirecting to /fr/

$ curl -H 'accept-language: fr,en' https://deploy-preview-75--p2pparis.netlify.com
Redirecting to /en/

Anyway, I have already contact Netlify support about it, and they are currently checking.

Netlify support came back.. their reply:
"it is a bug which we may not get a fix for soon. I'll update you via email in case things do change though!".

So I think for now there is not much we can do about it.
