The advantage is that you don’t have redirection penalty for each link
for example with Screaming Frog SEO Spider
link.com/en is redirected to link.com/en/
each redirection cost time and server resources, just because it wasn’t coded properly
another example:
if you have German as your default language with option “Hide URL language information for default language.” selected
link.com/DE/PRODUCT is redirected to link.com/product/
we could simply avoid unnecessary redirections
@gunu or @john Clause
can you please tell me why Language Chooser widget is not working as before
with version qTranslate-X Version 3.2.8 it was working fine
when “Hide URL language information for default language.” selected
why does widget shows hidden (default) language prefix
for example if English is default language
http://www.link.com/EN/products
it should be
http://www.link.com/products
please advise why language chooser widget IGNORES “Hide URL language information for default language.” option selection
I have the same issue with the widget added a prefix for the default language while I unchecked it in the backend. See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/home-redirects-to-homeen?replies=27#post-6897173 . Did you solve the issue yourself by any chance?
I have a similar issue at http://am.amccsm.org/ where I am unable to switch away from English to Chinese (simplified) or Chinese (traditional) on the HOME page only. All the other pages display properly.
However if I disable the “Hide URL language info. for default language” I am unable to switch away from Chinese (traditional) on the HOME page only.
Any ideas?
