I’d like the website to be in english by default, except for users based in France. I created a folder /fr that
contains the website translated in french. I’ve followed netlify’s documentation about redirects, and i’ve read related topics but i can’t make the redirection works.
Note that i am currently based in France, which means that i should be redirected to Tristan Berger | Développeur Web if everything works correctly.
Here is what my netlify.toml looks like, i’ve tried different configuration but none of them worked.
[[redirects]]
from = “/”
to = “/fr/”
status = 302
force = false
conditions = {Country = [“fr”], Language = [“fr”]}
I’m quite new to web development, I’m sure i’m missing something or doing something wrong, do you know how can i fix that ?
Welcome to the Netlify Forums! Glad you found us Before we dig in, did you see this blog post on country redirects? It walks through how to set these up, step-by-step:
I suggest walking through the blog post and following the implementation. Additionally, another great resource is our redirect support guide:
If you are still facing difficulties after this, please respond in this thread and we will continue assisting you!
I think i’m getting the same issue, it’s a problem coming from the number of accept-language of the browser. Thus i tried to removed the language condition and keep only the country one :
[[redirects]]
from = “/”
to = “/fr/”
status = 302
force = true
conditions = {Country = “fr”}
And it turns out to work as expected !
For anyone facing the same kind of issue, note that i also had to use force = true, because you cannot shadow a URL that actually exists within the site. ( see Rewrites and proxies | Netlify Docs )
From the sounds of “work as expected”, it sounds like you found a solution! Thanks for letting us know. If anything else comes up, don’t hesitate to follow up here.
