Url() helper does not include language option when the page is virtual

Happy New Year!

I have a multi-language site and a custom route which creates a virtual page under the parent jobs. Navigating the virtual pages works as expected. On the virtual page I render a language switcher using the below snippet. For some reason on a virtual page the url() helper does not include the language part. For example on a virtual page a link would be /jobs/my-job-id where on a non-virtual page it would include the language code /en/jobs/my-job-id. Anyone have an idea or what I’m doing wrong?

language-switcher.php

<el-options>
	<?php foreach ($kirby->languages() as $l): ?>
		<?php
			// Build URL preserving current query string
			$url = url($page->uri(), [
				'language' => $l->code(),
				'query' => $_GET ?? []
			]);
		?>

		<el-option value="<?= $l->code() ?>" >
			<a href="<?= $url ?>"></a>
		</el-option>
	<?php endforeach ?>
</el-options>

custom-route.php

<?php

return [
	[
		'pattern' => 'jobs/(:any)',
		'language' => '*',
		'action' => function ($language, $jobID) {
			// Create a virtual page
			$virtualPage = Page::factory([
				'slug'		=> Str::slug($jobID),
				'template'	=> 'job',
				'model'		=> 'job',
				'parent'	=> page('jobs')
			]);

			return site()->visit($virtualPage, $language);
		}
	],
];

Thanks!
