[Multilanguage] How to get the siteUrl without the language-slug

The CMS Questions

Seems to be an easy question, but if i read the docs, i understand that site()->url() without a parameter should deliver the basic siteUrl without language slug - independently from which page i am calling - even in a multilanguage-setup.

When i am on a non-default language route i.e. test.com/de i get exactly that url - with de.
i am wondering, if that is the expected behavior?

Only site->url('') delivers the baseUrl without language-slug.
Do i made a mistake or is that the way to go?

Thx!!

that is expected behaviour. the base url of multi-language sites equals the one with the default language appended.

try kirby()->url() (which defaults to index) or more explicit $kirby->url('index') or $kirby->urls()->index().

hey @bnomei thanks for your response and the tip with kirby()->url()!
i will take that now.

regarding site()-url()

the base url of multi-language sites equals the one with the default language appended.

I thought so as well: without a parameter it should output the baseurl with the default language appended or none, if the url of the default-language is set to /.
In my case above, de is NOT the default language, but en with 'url=>/'
But on mydomain.com/de site()->url() without params outputs mydomain.com/de - and that is not the default lang :man_shrugging:

But i guess i found the use case: in a multilanguage setup with subpages, site()->url() outputs the baseUrl of the multilingual site

what i was looking for kirby()->url() is the better solution.
thx again
