I djust upgraded my Kirby installation from 2.2.3 to 2.3.2 an get a redirect error, When I removed the language setting in the config.php it works but without content.  
my settings are:

```
c::set('languages', array(
  array(
    'code' => 'de',
    'name' => 'deutsch',
    'default' => true,
    'locale' => 'de_DE',
    'url' => '/',
  ),array(
    'code' => 'en',
    'name' => 'english',
    'locale' => 'en_US',
    'url' => '/en',
  ),
));

```

I can’t find the mistake,  
any idea somebody?  
thanks for help.

Thank you. That’s interesting, I haven’t seen this. I will look into this.

Shame on me 😳,  
I found the mistake. It was a missing language code in

**home/ home._de_.txt**

It seems to be no problem for earlier versions.

Yes, especially home.de.txt is never used!?  
It’s kind of onepager with no home information.

Yes, it seems like that has been introduced in Kirby 2.3.

Actually content files without language codes are not intended to work as [stated in the docs](https://getkirby.com/docs/languages/setup) (see “Attention! Switching from single-language to multi-language”), but we [will try to fix this in Kirby 2.4 anyway](https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/issues/490).
