Hi all - I currently have a kirby 4 site setup with 2 languages; but for the purposes of SEO I want to change the way the home page carries out the 302 redirect on the home page which I understand is best practice.

So I want the home page to stay at:

_[www.website.com](http://www.website.com)_

and serve the primary language which is ‘en’ instead of redirecting to:

_[www.website.com/en](http://www.website.com/en)_

I’ve added this to the config but still no luck:

```auto
  'languages' => [
    [
      'code' => 'en',
      'name' => 'English',
      'default' => true,
      'url' => '/', 
    ],
    [
      'code' => 'cy',
      'name' => 'Cymraeg',
      'url' => '/cy', 
    ],
  ],
  'language.detect' => false,

```

Any suggestions how to remove this redirect for the home page only?

Thanks

The `languages` config option is not meant to control all language settings. It can only be set to `true` to enable the multi-language feature.

The individual language settings (including the language URLs) are placed in the files inside the `site/languages` folder:
