Default language url problem after upgrading from v3.0.1 to v3.1.0

The CMS Questions

Hello,
I am so pleased with the new features that version 3.1.0 has brought to me and I couldn’t wait to upgrade my instance from version 3.0.1. But a small issue of multi-language appeared once the upgrade of kirby was done.
I have both languages of Chinese and English. I have a config file for language of English,

<?php
return array (
  'code' => 'en',
  'default' => true,
  'direction' => 'ltr',
  'locale' => 'en_US',
  'name' => 'English',
  'url' => '/'
);

And I have a config file for language of Chinese,

<?php
return array (
  'code' => 'zh',
  'default' => false,
  'direction' => 'ltr',
  'locale' => 'zh_CN',
  'name' => 'Chinese',
  'url' => '/zh'
);

When I go to the home page, I will be redirected to /zh automatically. When I reset the version of kirby back to v3.0.1, the problem disappeared.
Is this a bug or just a new feature? What can I do if I would like to realize the idea of setting ‘/’ as the url for default language ‘English’?
Thanks!

Hi, I’m experiencing the same, or at least a similar issue when updated to 3.1.0. I have the site operating both in English and Finnish. The issue seems to be related to the language of the browser.

  • English site URL is company-name.com
  • Finnish site URL is company-name.com/fi
  • Testing with latest Firefox, browser language set to English. Everything works fine
  • Testing with latest Firefox, browser language set to Finnish. When accessing company-name.com, everything renders in Finnish. The URL remains though, no /fi-appendix

This only happens in the home page, in all other pages language switching seems to be working as expected.

I just fixed this and created a release candidate for a patch release: https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/issues/1603#issuecomment-475170255

Could you give it a try as well and let me know if this fixes the issue for you?

Sorry for the extra work!
