I was thinging about the new changes to redirects and think I have ny head around the basics, but not sure what todo about language and laguage 404 redirects (assuming EN is main lang).

So I think these areOK?

[[redirects]]
# COMMENT: Temp Netlify URL to Main URL
  from = “https://domain.netlify.com/*”
  to = “https://domain.com/:splat”
  status = 301
  force = true

[[redirects]]
# COMMENT: Reroute old sitemap to new
  from = “/sitemap/“
  to = “/sitemap.xml”
  status = 301
  force = true

But what to do with this French language and 404 redirect, is it also force=true? Anyone have any pointers?

[[redirects]]
# COMMENT: Path fr (Français)
   from = “/“
   to = “/fr”
   conditions = {Language = [“fr”]}
   status = 302

[[redirects]]
# COMMENT: fr 404
   from = “/fr/*”
   to = “/fr/404”
   status = 404

Hey @AudioBear,

I don’t see a reason why you’d want to redirect from your netlify.com domain to your actual domain. It’s not being indexed anyway.

Concerning the redirect to 404, this should do:
[[redirects]]
from = "/fr/*"
to = "/fr/404/"
status = 404
force = true

Andy thanks for the suggestion ref redirects. I think it was in dev that we had the link from netlifty to the real domain, maybe it was managers bookmarking or something - i can’t quite remember.
