Language Consideration with Relative Redirect
Preserve Language-Code (Locale)
The Language Consideration feature is ideal for store owners who have configured Shopify markets for multiple countries or regions and want to redirect visitors from the initial store's specific page URL to the exact same page URL on their native store, with the appropriate language code.
You can utilize the feature in 2 ways:
Let's understand the functionality of both options with the Relative Redirect feature:
1. Default
Preserve language code with relative redirect has certain cases which depend on the language code availability in the landing URL and "Redirect To Store URL (Destination URL)" in the app.
1.1 Language code available in the landing URL and Redirect To Store URL
shop-one.com/en
shop-two.com/fr
shop-two.com/fr
shop-one.com/en/product
shop-two.com/fr/product
shop-two.com/fr/product
1.2 Language code available only in the landing URL
shop-one.com/en
shop-two.com
shop-two.com/en
1.3 Language code available only in the Redirect To Store URL
Shop-one.com
shop-two.com/fr
shop-two.com/fr
shop-one.com/product
shop-two.com/fr/product
shop-two.com/fr/product
2. Locale from Redirect URL
In the Locale from Redirect URL functionality, the language code will be considered as per the availability in the destination store "Redirect To Store URL" only:
2.1 Language code available in the landing URL and Redirect To Store URL
shop-one.com/en
shop-two.com/fr
shop-two.com/fr
shop-one.com/en/product
shop-two.com/fr/product
shop-two.com/fr/product
2.2 Language code available only in the landing URL
shop-one.com/en
shop-two.com
shop-two.com
2.3 Language code available only in the Redirect To Store URL
Shop-one.com
shop-two.com/fr
shop-two.com/fr
