Dynamic root path
Hi! I have an app that is dealing with internationalisation.
My route structure is something like
/
/about
/whatever
And I want to add additional paths that immediately target specific locales;
/en
/en/about
/en/whatever
What’s the recommended approach here? Is there a way to do it without duplicating everything to use $locale?5 Replies

if
/about uses the default language, just redirect to /<default_language>/about
could maybe be done through a splat routeother-emeraldOP•10mo ago
I just tried splat and it seems to really overcomplicate the build in terms of typesafety, notfound boundaries etc etc.

i believe this is not supported yet, this is also a deal breaker for me, we would need something like remix optional params, or always have a prefix for a language

I also wondered about this today. I really like how nextjs handles it in the old pages router (https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/routing/internationalization#sub-path-routing)
Routing: Internationalization | Next.js
Next.js has built-in support for internationalized routing and language detection. Learn more here.

optional path segments are on our backlog
