Can someone help me with the htaccess rewrite url?
- I need to convert ?lang=en to /en
- To always display the language used in the url
- When someone comes to example.com to automatically 301 redirect them to example.com/en as the main language.
- When a user chooses another language to stay on the same page e.g. example.com/en/contact.php
I have a total of three languages on the site en, de, hr.
The problem with my code is when I go to example.com/contact and select a language, it takes me back to the homepage example.com/en. If I type manually example.com/en/contact it works.
If I am at example.com/en/contact and choose another language e.g. /de url changes to example.com/en/de and a 404 error.
My current htaccess code looks like this
# Convert ?lang=en in /en
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/?$ ?lang=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([bs|en|de]{2})/(.*)$ $2?lang=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA]
# Remove trailing slash from URL
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /(.+)/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ https://example.com/%1 [R=301,L]
# Remove php extension in URL
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
