Language selection leads to wrong pages

The CMS Questions
1

In my navigation, I have a language menu. On some pages, the links do not work and lead to Home. Why is this happening?

<ul>
  <?php foreach ($kirby->languages() as $language): ?>
  <li><a href="<?= $language->url() ?>"><?= $language->name() ?></a></li>
  <?php endforeach ?>
</ul>

Do the translations of pages that redirect to home exist? What is the URL that is printed for those links? Is language detection enabled?

Could you show us your language setup (config, language files).

Thank you. Yes, the translations do exist. Their language links lead to mywebsite/language.

My config.php:

<?php

return [
  'routes' => [
    [
      'pattern' => 'sitemap.xml',
      'action'  => function() {
        $pages = site()->pages()->index();
        $ignore = kirby()->option('sitemap.ignore', ['error', 'shows']);
        $content = snippet('sitemap', compact('pages', 'ignore'), true);
        return new Kirby\Cms\Response($content, 'application/xml');
      }
    ],
    [
      'pattern' => 'sitemap',
      'action'  => function() {
        return go('sitemap.xml', 302);
      }
    ],
    [
      'pattern' => '/',
      'action'  => function() {
        return page('shows')->children()->listed()->shuffle()->first();
      }
    ]
  ],
  'debug'  => true,
  'languages' => true
];

My de.php:

<?php

return [
    'code' => 'de',
    'default' => true,
    'direction' => 'ltr',
    'locale' => [
        'LC_ALL' => 'de_DE'
    ],
    'name' => 'Deutsch',
    'translations' => [

    ],
    'url' => NULL
];

My en.php:

<?php

return [
    'code' => 'en',
    'default' => false,
    'direction' => 'ltr',
    'locale' => [
        'LC_ALL' => 'en_US'
    ],
    'name' => 'English',
    'translations' => [

    ],
    'url' => NULL
];

I got it. I changed my template code to:

<ul>
  <?php foreach ($kirby->languages() as $language): ?>
  <li><a href="<?= $page->url($language->code()) ?>"><?= $language->name() ?></a></li>
  <?php endforeach ?>
</ul>
